In 1997 Dr. Cook met Edward allan Buck, inventor of the “original” bitless bridle. Subsequent to that meeting Dr.Cook wrote articles and many letters regarding the bitless bridle.
Dr. Cook then took the original design created by Edward Allan Buck and began to present it as his own concept. He currently proposes that the bit is the direct cause of many behavioral problems and diseases of the house, and that it exposes both the horse and the rider to serious risk.
