A bitless bridle for horses includes a pair of substantially rigid sidepieces, each including a shaft and at least four attachment eyelets associated therewith. The at least four attachment eyelets each include a single, end eyelet extending longitudinally from a lowermost end of the sidepiece and three eyelets grouped about an opposite end of the sidepiece in a cloverleaf configuration. One of the three eyelets is a chinband eyelet configured to be coupled to a chinband of the bridle. Supporting headgear is coupled to the pair of substantially rigid sidepieces and is configured to maintain the sidepieces in position on sides of the head of the horse. An enhancing link is coupled between the end eyelet and the chinband. The enhancing link has at least one enhancing eyelet associated therewith and located intermediate the end eyelet and the chinband. The enhancing eyelet is configured to provide at least one intermediate point of attachment for a rein between the end eyelet and the chinband to allow a wielder of the rein to apply leverage through the sidepiece with the rein.
