Our new chap came in a bitless bridle (the dr cook one), he seems happy enough but seems to carry his head reasonable high in it....because he can!
Tried him in a bit the other day and he went beautifully, with mild lapses in concentration and stuffiness!!
We dont know much of his history, he does have a few headshake issues in the summer, but other than that, old owner just said he was happier in a bitless. I can get a nice outline but as this bridle is all nose pressure I dont want to hurt his nose!
Took him down the common the other day, he cantered and pulled up very easily, whereas in a bridle I think he would battle a bit.
Does anyone else use Dr Cook bridle and what are your thoughts?
Sorry if its been done before!
