Bitless Bridle - Rider Evaluations

Click on our Kaitie Lee and Sparky feature to find out how Katie would now like to compete in Dressarge with the Dr Cook Bitless bridle July 2006

"Hi there, Just to let you know, I am delighted with the change in my connemara with this bridle.

Now 12 years old, I've had him 2 years and have gone through many bits - from rubber snaffle, happy mouth, two ring, pelham, Dr. bristol, french link, copper roller. Nothing stopped his constant fidgeting, tossing the head, pulling all the time to the extent that I was on the brink of selling him due to constant shoulder pain. On his side he has the neck of a bull and had constant sore mouth.

I've so far ridden him 4 times in this new bridle and everyone is remarking on the change in him. For the first time ever yesterday I rode him without a martingale - something unheard of for him - and on a x-country course too !! He was totally chilled and jumping like a stag, really stretching himself out and enjoying the jumps.

And here's the best part - no pulling or rushing off in a gallop." Bernadette Loughlin, May 2006 - Ireland
