Dr Cook Bitless bridle

[Fox07]

Has anyone tried one of these? Did your horse go better/ worse... thinking of trying one.

 

[vennessa]

I have been lent one. It has started to make a difference. The lady that lent me it uses nothing other.

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Yep we use one on Ellie. She has been much better over the last month or so that we've been using it.

 

[Sags_Deer]

I did try one on my boy and fine, wouldnt hack out in one tho and as far as lunging mine i was on a death wish!! lol

 

[allijudd]

i make them.....
i have found that using them in conjunction with a bit has helped novice riders...

i have used it on two horses so far..one ignored it completely and the other went really well in it....

i have also sent one to my aunt who breeds standardbreds to aid her with one mare she has difficulty leading...

 

[Fox07]

Thanks for replies

been doing some research into it and this website has started to make me think about trying one www.bitlessbridle.com

 

[Ellies_mum2]

If you do get one don't forget to let us know how it works out will you ?

 

[Fox07]

allij, you say you make them? How much do you sell them for?

 

[allijudd]

i havent sold one yet..have made them for friends etc etc.....

wouldnt know really...i would make you a cotton riope one to try if you would like....pm me you details

 

[Fox07]

Ellies_mum2 I will do! Been looking for one but cant find any suppliers in UK, where did you get yours from? I have looked on ebay but there are only dr cook 'style' ones and not the official ones. Does this matter?

 

[allijudd]

will just nip out and take a photo for you....

 

[Ellies_mum2]

I think ours came from America

Not sure if it makes a difference if it isn't the official one as long as it fits properly and the nose band isn't too low

 

[BankEndRescue]

I use one on my stallion and he goes really well in it.

 

[allijudd]

here is one view...having just looked at the dr cooks website...apparently i make an american native version with the knots etc etc...havent tried making a leather one yet...but i probably could...i love a challenge

ets should have rotated it!!!

My TB went very well in the Dr Cooks - would recommend them

 

[minerva]

Exactly as HippyNed said

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

Minerva, you have mail, have PM'd you.

 

[JessPickle]

pickle goes nicely in one you can order them for the official uk site, I would personally go for the real deal

 

[Happy2Hack]

I use one! My horse goes much better in it! You can get them in the UK from this site:

My local saddler has been making them for years now, in webbing, leather or biothane, and at a fraction of the price of a genuine Dr Cook. I have one that I use for driving, my friend has one for a once very unhappy horse, both go so much better now.
