Bit vs. Bitless Experiment, 3rd horse (bitted)

In October, 2008, at the Certified Horsemanship Association's International Conference, Dr. Cook undertook a unique experiment. It demonstrated that the performance of four horses immediately and significantly improved, within four minutes, when their jointed snaffle bridle was replaced with a crossunder bitless bridle. Four riding school horses that were being ridden in a crossunder bitless bridle for the very first time, completed two four-minute exercise tests, first in a snaffle bridle, then in the BitlessBridle. The film is presented in nine sections ... Part 1. Introduction; Parts 2-7. Individual performances; Parts 8-9. Results and Discussion. The entire experiment (in better quality video) is available on DVD - go to www.bitlessbridle.com for more information.
