I’ve been watching videos from the UK’s first bridleless competition, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m inspired more than ever to get the horses to that point of training.

Seeing horses go through a dressage test or jump a course with no bridle at all is pretty incredible. It shows a level of trust and communication that can’t be faked. When there are no reins or bit to fall back on, what you’re left with is the relationship between horse and rider.

It made me wish we had something like this in Canada.

I’m not saying every horse should be ridden bridleless or tackless. It’s not for everyone, and it shouldn’t be. But for the riders who have put in the time, the training, and the countless hours building that kind of partnership, why shouldn’t there be a place to showcase it?

One of the things I love most about horses is that there is more than one way to do things well. Good horsemanship can look different from rider to rider. A competition that celebrates connection, trust, and communication alongside traditional classes would be something pretty special to see.

Watching those rounds reminded me that at its best, our sport is about working with a horse, not just controlling one. It’s inspiring to see and such a big step in the right direction!

I think there needs to be less judgment around selling or rehoming horses.

Not every horse and rider combination is meant to last forever. Sometimes your financial situation changes, and sometimes you try your absolute best and realize the partnership just isn't the right fit. That doesn't mean you don't love your horse.

The most responsible thing you can do is find them a home where they can succeed and be appreciated for who they are.
Horses are a huge commitment, but they should add something positive to our lives. If a horse is causing constant stress, anxiety, or making you dread going to the barn, it's okay to be honest about that. It doesn't make you a bad owner.

Too many people keep horses out of guilt because they're afraid of what others will think. Keeping a horse simply because you feel obligated isn't always what's best for either of you.

At the end of the day, a horse doesn't care about opinions of others on social media. They care about having good care, and a person who enjoys spending time with them.

Sometimes the best thing for both horse and human is a new home, a fresh start, and a partnership that fits.

Just a thought from seeing some unkind posts today.
