All LightRider Bitless Bridles work the same way with a unique releasing chinstrap.

While any bridle could be used for any activity on a well educated horse, some are more suited and look more appropriate for different pursuits. 

This chart will help you choose the most suitable options for your preferred style of riding or equine sport, or your horse's level of education. 

If you are still not sure which is the most appropriate bridle for your horse, you are welcome to contact Cynthia for advice.
