Grand Prix (jumping) in just a bit and reins

If you scroll down to the bottom, you will see "Lauren Tisbo rode Mr. Visto—who goes in just a bit with no full bridle—to finish fourth."

Kudos to her and her well trained horse. I haven't followed the jumpers in years, but is a double the standard bridle?

A little hard to tell cause the pic is dark but I think they meant that she doesn't use a noseband on him. if you don't need it don't use it ;)

Went on line to search other pictures (since the one in the article is dark) and found photos of the horse in a full bridle and some kind of bubble bit, as well as a photo of him jumping (big!) with a naked head and just a neck rope! So, I can't say what the caption means, but apparently there's been some experimentation with this horse.

I think full=complete. Susie Hutchinson rode a horse with just a bit and reins years ago.

In the picture there is no bridle, no crown piece, no brow band, just bit and reins, like Chancellor said.

Wow! Was there any explanation why? You'd have to keep a steady contact to keep the bit in the mouth, and doing that jumping is pretty impressive. I just wonder why?

Is that Bruce Springsteen's daughter?

Her horse is out of an Alcatraz (Holsteiner) mare, I had seen somewhere long ago that he was a fabulous broodmare sire. . . . He's got quite the jump on him.

In the case of Woodstock, he hated wearing a bridle. Jimmy Williams devised a way - I don't know what it was - to keep the bit in Woodstock's face, that met with the horse's approval.
