10/9/07. Today on a beautiful sunny October afternoon, I went home and saw that my Dr. Cook's Bitless Bridle had arrived. So, I picked hot peppers and tomatoes, worked on a research paper, and then went for a ride!Violet seemed to really like the bridle. She was very sensitive to my leg aids and very nice about moving off my leg. She was responsive to the reins and she did not yaw and throw her head up or plow it down. She was relatively even most of the time and relaxed all of the time.
It was only our first time, but I have to say that I really like it. I am relieved. I am going to continue with the experiment. And it's just nice knowing that I'm not hurting her delicate mouth!
