Using a lungeing cavesson as a bitless bridle?

I recently saw someone using their well-fitted lungeing cavesson as a bitless bridle, it seems logical that this could work, but I've never seen anyone ride in a lungeing cavesson before - what are your opinions on this matter?

Is it okay to use the lungeing cavesson in this way or is it harmful in a way that a proper bitless bridle wouldn't be??

    I don't see any harm in using one. My only thoughts would be I'm assuming they were using the left and right rings at the front to hook the reins on, to me that seems like it'd be less effective than other methods, you'll probably find his face is likely to get in the way of the contact on your hands which might make it all quite fiddly.

    If it was me, I'd prefer to ride in a head collar and attach both of my reins to the ring underneath, means your reins should interfere less with their head and make it easier to steer.

    But that said, if you're just planning on doing it for fun to see what happens I don't think you'd struggle much with it.
