This message is from: "Lola Lahr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I use a Dr Cook's on my fjord mare and on my arab gelding. They both love it and, especially in the case of the gelding, it is very calming. I have never found a bit for him that he doesn't chew to death, and the chewing seemed to increase his hyper-alertness on the trails. I do have an older arab gelding that absolutely hates it, so it really depends on the horse.
