As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just request a return with a FREE SmartPak return label from your Order History within 60 days of the purchase date.

Why We Love This
THE BRIDLE THAT STARTED THE BITLESS REVOLUTION!
SAFE, GENTLE, EFFECTIVE CONTROL AND CLEAR COMMUNICATION
The Dr. Cook® Bitless Western Headstall features an independent rein straps and a smooth, comfortable noseband that provides a clear, pain-free signal and instant release. Although The Bitless Bridle is indisputably a bitless bridle it bears no other resemblance to the pre-existing and traditional bitless bridles. The Dr. Cook Bitless Western Headstall works on an entirely new and different concept compared with all previous bridles. The Bitless Bridle provides full service communication, whereas the traditional bitless bridles have limitations in their ability to provide for rider/horse communication.
Dr Cook's Bitless Western Leather Reins sold separately.
Favorite Features
- Hand crafted out of quality US bridle leather. (Wickett & Craig of America).
- Crafted by some of USA's finest American leather workers.
- Features western looking buckles and have silver star removable Conchos at the browband.

Hassle-Free Returns
SmartPak Returns
We put our products to the test in our barns and on our horses, so we're confident that you'll be thrilled with your purchase. However, we know that life in the barn can sometimes be unpredictable. That's why we've created a stress-free return policy. If you purchase an item and it doesn't meet your expectations, we want to know about it, take care of you and give you your money back.
Free Return Shipping on all Sized Items
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just request a return with a FREE SmartPak return label from your Order History within 60 days of the purchase date. And of course, please make sure the item is in like-new condition with original packaging (we said 'fitting room', not 'war room'!).
The Fine Print
We love our products and we're happy to take them back - even custom items. We'll happily take back everything from engraved halters to personalized jackets - even embroidered blankets that have been worn (minus the manure, please). But there are a few things we have to restrict returns on (silly federal regulations).
Undergarments
Health regulations require that undergarments (including bras) need to be in new condition (tags and packages intact) in order to be returned. (Even if it wasn't required, do you really want to shop from a store that takes back used undergarments?!)
Saddles
As riders, we know what a big investment a saddle is. That's why we're proud to offer the best Test Ride program in the business. You can keep our Test Ride saddles risk-free for five days, to really make sure you like the fit and the feel. We know that to truly try a saddle, you have to really ride in it. So go ahead and girth it up. Forget about wrapping your stirrup leathers. Try it with or without a saddle pad. Basically, treat it like you already bought it, so you can make sure you really want to. Because when you buy a saddle from us, we want to make sure you love it. Of course, we want our other customers to love their new saddles, too.
That's why we have a Test Ride option for each saddle we carry - so that all of the other saddles can stay in pristine condition, waiting for their new owners. For this reason, if you purchase a saddle outside the Test Ride program, it's still eligible for return, but must be free from any marks or damage.
So that's it. Seriously. Those are all of our "rules." Well, except the most important one - treating our customers the way we want to be treated. So if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do, please call us at 1-800-461-8898 or email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com. We are always happy to help.

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.

Change Needed
I love the the bridle. would like to see a quick snap on both sides of the rein, instead of the buckle on one side. Other than that great piece of equipment.

Great fit
Was using a bosal but my horse has a big head so it wasn't perfect for him. Since these come in different sizes he now has something bitless that fits perfect.

Totally amazing! My mustang loves it, responds well and it looks good. Just be careful to dry it if you get it wet if you are getting the leather one

Costly, not impressed with the craftsmanship
I bought two bridles and feel they are WAY over priced to not come with reins! I have also been dealing with UPS & Smartpak as they did not ship our items to the correct address & then in fixing the problem made it more complicated.
