You've been inspired by all the amazing videos from the British Bridleless Competition, you've seen the happy horses and riders and have started to think 'I wonder...'
Because after you say "Wow!" The next question is "How?!"
Because just whipping the bridle off and seeing if it will work is not a strategy, and in truth goes against what true bridleless riding is all about.
"It's about more than just surviving the experience, bridleless riding with softness and dignity is about creating true confidence and connection with your horse."
Hi, Iām Lyla,
I was the first ever 'Relationship Judge' in the Dressage section of the first British Bridleless Competition in 2026. This meant that I had the final say if the combinations were ready to go bridleless as well as judging them on confidence, connection and rapport.
I believe that success with horses comes from understanding and connection.
For over 20 years I have specialised in providing a unique blend of horsemanship principles alongside sensitively applied traditional ground and ridden techniques for riders of any discipline to achieve transformational results with their horses.ā
The first horse I trained to go bridleless was my gorgeous mare Arielle (the grey pictured above) well over 20 years ago. I have since trained multiple horses to this level and helped riders do the same.
If you can't imagine how on earth you will ever stop, steer or even stay in the same county without the reins I can show you the path to successful (and safe!) bridleless riding.
I am looking forward to this masterclass so that I can show you the simple steps to help you experience the freedom and fun that is bridleless riding.
See you there!
Lyla š¦š
