Can Your Horse Benefit from Riding in a Dr. Cook Bitless Bridle? The Dr. Cook Bitless Bri- dle was developed after years of research. The design allows gentle, effective control with pressure that is distributed evenly around the horse’s head. Sometimes when you just can't find a bit that works trying the Dr. Cook Bitless Bridle could be the answer to your problems. Going Bitless, no matter what discipline you are in (English or Western), even for a short period of time can be like hitting the re- fresh button on your computer. It’s also great to have a bit- less bridle on hand for situations such as being able to ride right after having your horse’s dental work done, or long trail rides where they can graze and drink without the nuisance of having a bit in their mouth. And being able to take the bit away allows you to make sure your horses bad behav- ior is not related to the bit you are using. Older horses with severe tooth loss will be much more comfortable bitless. Going bitless is great for lesson and therapeutic riding programs where the rider has not yet developed the skills necessary to ride in a bit. Transitioning to bitless requires a surprisingly small amount of effort and time, some- times horses adjust even in the first ride. We suggest you start in a small, enclosed area (round pen, indoor arena, etc.) The Dr. Cook Bitless Bridle is marketed all over the world and used in all disciplines. Avail- able in English & Western styles starting at $69.95, it’s easier than ever to go bitless. Made in the USA out of premium American materials.
