Re: [RC] bitless bridle - Born CountryI use a Dr. Cook bitless bridle and love it. ?More important, my horse loves it. ?But it's not for every horse. ?Originally, I purchased the bridle for my husband's mare. ?She blew right through it! ?Put the S hackamore on her, and she was just fine. ?My Arab gelding goes very well in the bitless and will put his head down and shove his nose into it. ?I have very good control; he respects the bridle and has NEVER blown, or attempted to blow through it. ?The one down side is I have the biothane one. ?To me, it just doesn't release as quickly as I'd like and I suspect it doesn't release totally. ?My horse will open his mouth as in a stretch, but I suspect it's to loosen the cross pieces. ?The other thing I don't like is you have to keep an eye on the cheek pieces that cross under the
jaw. ?They twist easily. ?If I had to do over, I would have purchased the nylon. Esther and Chagalle, who is happy with his bitless ?

Is anyone currently using one or have used one? What are your thoughts on the bridle? I currently use a S-Hackamore but I do not like how the chain
rusts and you cant adjust it after it rusts.
