Natural Rider Bitless Bridles are made by Natural Horse NZ in New Zealand. They came about as we were looking for an easy Bitless style to use when rehabilitating rescue horses. Who often showed resistance to using a Bitted bridle, but took to our Bitless models so well that we simply had to offer our Bitless bridles to others. As we could see that they were making such a positive difference to the horse, whilst improving the relationship with their riders.
It is important to us to be able to offer versatility in our Bitless range, in order that more horses can benefit from using our bridles, so they are available in 3 different models, in both English and Western styles, in all sizes from miniature ponies through to draft horses, and every size in between.
In addition to our Bitless bridles, we also offer our Soft Bitless Bosals too, which are a Bitless noseband that can convert your traditional Bitted bridle into a Bitless riding device.

It is very hard to make a mistake with, so it's great for beginners and children to learn to ride with too.

low-maintenance material to use for horse tack as it looks like leather but without any of the fuss to maintain it, as it is incredibly hardwearing with a leather-look but so easy to take care of as just wash with soapy water and leave to drip dry.
Plus it is also UV resistant and won't crack, fade or crease and all the hardware is marine grade rust-free stainless steel

DR COOK BITLESS BRIDLES
DR COOK BITLESS BRIDLES
Dr Cook Bitless Bridles were designed by a Professor of Equine Veterinary medicine, who developed his Bitless Crossover design in response to seeing so many mouth and breathing issues in his Equine patients. These bridles are a gentle tool for Bitless riding, which work from pressure and release. Therefore most horses and riders take to them quickly and easily. However, just like all other bridles, you do still need to be mindful of how much rein pressure is applied. Due to this we are happy to also sell a converter strap that will change your Dr Cook Crossunder Bitless Bridle to an easy to use Sidepull, so you get the best of both types of Bitless models.
Please see below for the wide range of styles and materials in our Dr Cook Bitless Collection.
