There sure are some uh... strong opinions on both sides of the bit vs bitless camp if you will. I have been reading some of them. I think it would be the most convenient (for me)for endurance to go bitless. I think it would more easily allow for drinking and eating on the trail. I will divulge a secret now. I have never purposely let a horse eat while I was riding it. I'm not saying a few of my craftier steeds haven't managed to snatch a bite on a trail with high grass covered banks but it was a rare occasion. It was even rarer that they managed to keep that bite. I'm not to slow when it comes to snatching stuff right back out of their mouth whether I'm riding or not. I know that's so mean. I'm evil and should obviously be banned from horses forever. However since there is no "OMGyoudidn'tletyourhorseeatwhileyouwereworkingsoyourevilandbannedfromhorsesforever!" committee, I guess I'll just keep on truckin'.
