Newcastle (1743)

have seen many DVDs and among them those
of Monty Roberts, but I liked your DVD
best. The explanations are easy to understand
and to follow."
We’re
the official representative of Dr. Robert Cook’s Bitless
Bridle ® in
Spain and Switzerland, a Bitless bridle apt for all horses and riders!
We have been using the Bitless Bridle ® for several years and
are very content with it. Every day more conscious riders use the
bridle on race horses, show jumping horses and on trail rides.
Here you can find more information or you can order the Bitless
Bridle ® in
our Webshop.
Italy took Silver in the European Horse Ball Championship! Three
of their horses were ridden with the Bitless Bridle®. Here’s
