| | Dressage in a Dr. Cook's Bitless Bridle
7 year old PRE Andalusian mare, Bryssa, is ridden by a 65 year old amateur in the Dr Cook Bitless Bridle and they both love it! The mare is willing and easy to ride, and goes off the seat and leg aids instead of fussing with a bit. She is ridden in a snaffle for competition, but we're looking forward to the day when the bitless is approved for dressage shows. | |

| | Bit vs. Bitless, The CHA Experiment
In October, 2008, at the Certified Horsemanship Association's International Conference, Dr. Cook conducted a unique experiment. It demonstrated that the performance of four horses immediately and significantly improved, within four minutes, when their jointed snaffle bridle was replaced with a crossunder bitless bridle. Four riding school horses that were being ridden in a crossunder bitless bridle for the very first time, completed two four-minute exercise tests, first in a snaffle bridle, then in the BitlessBridle. The entire experiment (in better quality video) is available on DVD. Contact our Customer Service department for more information (866.235.0938)

| | Red goes bitless for the first time
RED (our Rocky Mountain 3 year old Gelding) trying the Dr Cook Bitless Bridle for the first time. AMAZING.... he was much calmer, turned, stopped, did everything he should do in a bit.... but 1000 times better. He was relaxed, ears forward, head high.... He will never have metal in his mouth again!!! Thanks Dr Cook! | |
