Rejected petition Make riding bitless for any competitions legal

Making riding bitless for any competitions become legal as surly this is a lot more kinder to the horses/ponies mouth when riding.
There is lots of horses out there that can’t physically have a bit in their mouth as it puts them in so much pain !
Please let’s get this legal for the horses sake

More details

I have a mare that I’ve rescued and turned out to be a lot older then I was told !
We have been through hell and back with the riding side of things
To the point I was thinking of giving up! This is my life and she is my best friend I have recently changed her to bitless and riding her in a hackamore and the difference is unreal I can’t even explain how comfortable she is when being ridden and stress free!
Please let’s get this legal and make it a much kinder way of riding
