Tracy Bye interview - The pressures under bitless bridles
Dr Gillian Tabor interviewed Tracy Bye, a lecturer in animal science at the Royal Agricultural Society. Tracy researched and co-authored a paper called Noseband and poll pressures underneath bitted and bitless bridles and the effects on equine locomotion. The paper is about pressures under bitted and bitless bridles. Tracy talks through the rationale for the study, how it was conducted and the conclusions drawn from their results.
