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.

Versatile Horse and Rider competition: Cathie Hatrick Anderson competing at the Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA.

 What can you do in a Dr. Cook Bitless Bridle? Pretty much anything you want! Here we have Cathie Hatrick Anderson and her quarter horse, Ruger, competing in the Versatile Horse and Rider competition at the Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA on November 11, 2011.

Cathie and Ruger took 11th out of 30 competitors, which is pretty darn good considering her horse was only 5 years old, half the age of most of the other more experienced horses.  Well done, Cathie and Ruger!

He will never have metal in his mouth again!!! Thanks Dr Cook!
