This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I saw another horse who is normally ridden in a Dr. Cook's bitless bridle also act confused when ground driven in harness with the Dr. Cook's bridle by an experienced driver. He thought when the driver gave a release on the lines, the pressure on the bridle wasn't lightening quickly enough -- the rein signals were being muddled and slowed. Based on these experiences, I am skeptical how useful the Dr. Cook's style of bitless is to the driving world.
The bitless bridle does not release fast. Especially with a Fjord in full coat, the slide does not work as fast as it should. Gail Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
