Works so far
Use on my horse who is happier w/o bit. Planning to ride some western dressage lessons & tests in Dr. Cook. Leather is thinner, stiffer than I was hoping for. I have oiled it & think it will get softer w/ use & care. It seems like it’s going to do what I need it to.

Love It
Our 19 yr old gelding has teeth issues that makes a bit impossible. Thought we’d try a bit less and it works perfectly! Had to soften it up a bit as the leather is pretty stiff. Ty Dr Cook!

Best bridle ever!
This is my 3rd Dr Cook bridle: I have the leather English bridle which is perfect for my Irish Draft; the 2nd one is a beta English one for my mare.(I do prefer the leather ones however).
My third guy one is a cob size and I purchased the Western Headstall in medium. I love it as the nose band is flat and fits his more refined head. He had never been ridden in a bitless and he’s loving it!

Well made
I bought this bridle several weeks ago and due to the hot weather in Utah I have yet to use it. But I am impressed with the excellent leather and how well it is made. I'm looking forward to using it as soon as it cools down this fall.

metal swings around when cantering
I switched over to this bridle a few months ago. I really love it but there was one big problem. When I cantered, the metal hoops where the reins connected would swing back and forth in my horses face. I tried lighter reins and it still happened. I ride with one hand on the reins and loose reins, so they start to pick up momentum and if I don't pull them in, they begin to swing all around her face and she does not like it. I haven't seen any other review that says this is happening to them, maybe you all ride with more contact? I felt I should add this, maybe someone else has a solution.

Great for mouth problems
My horse had a cut in each corner of his mouth so I could not use a bit till the cut had healed. At first I had good control, but after a month I could not keep my horse straight. He paid less attention to the bitless bridle.
I'm using his regular bit now and he goes straight again.

Very nice quality & design
I bought this several months ago for my husband’s trail horse. I was amazing at how he immediately relaxed & seemed to enjoy his outings more. Why on earth did I have him in a bit for trail riding? Habit! Am now buying another for my horse to use on the trails.

Bitless bridle
I didn't realize when I ordered it that the reins were not included so I had to go out and buy them.
