Er zijn veel verschillende soorten bitloze hoofdstellen. Elk van deze bitloze hoofdstellen heeft zijn eigen functionaliteit en werkwijze.

Wat is bitloos paardrijden?
Bitloos paardrijden betekent dat je, je paard berijdt zonder het gebruik van een bit in de mond van het paard. FR Equestrian is gespecialiseerd in bitloze hoofdstellen van hoge kwaliteit voor een optimaal comfort voor het paard

Waarom bitloos met je paard?
Bitloos rijden wordt steeds populairder onder ruiters. Hier zijn een aantal redenen voor. Het is niet ongebruikelijk dat paarden problemen hebben met hun mond, waardoor ze niet met een bit kunnen rijden of voorkomen dat het (jonge) paard overmatig gestoord wordt in de mond door het bit. Veel ruiters geven er ook de voorkeur aan om bitloos te rijden, omdat het een zachtere, vriendelijkere en daarom ethischere manier van werken en rijden met paarden is. Uiteindelijk maakt het niet uit wat de reden is; het belangrijkste is dat je het best mogelijke bitloze hoofdstel voor je paard kiest.
Bij FR Equestrian ben je altijd verzekerd van de beste kwaliteit en de beste pasvorm voor je paard.

Cavemore
Een cavemore is een combinatie tussen een kaptoom en een hackamore.
Op de neusriem zit zijn twee, drie of meer ringen bevestigd die het kaptoomgedeelte van dit hoofdstel vormen.

Tussen het neus- en kingedeelte van dit hoofdstel zijn scharen bevestigd, dit is het hackamore-gedeelte van het hoofdstel.

Hackamore
Een hackamore hoofdstel is een bitloos hoofdstel dat de paardenmond niet stoort. Een hackamore hoofdstel geeft druk achter de oren, onder de kin en op het neusbeen. 


Sidepull 
De sidepull is het ideale bitloze hoofdstel om mee te beginnen als je bitloos wilt rijden met je paard. Het voelt hetzelfde als rijden met een bit, maar het stoort de mond van je paard niet. Een Sidepull geeft druk op de neus in plaats van in de mond van het paard. Een sidepull wordt door bijna elk paard en/of pony geaccepteerd.
