Bitless Bridle. I gave them a trial run on my Shetland and mini
geldings and they worked GREAT! I think Carole will be offering them
on their site in the future, but she says it may take awhile. I am
anxiously awaiting a second set when she gets some in. For the first
time I was able to ground drive my ponies on the grass and get their
undivided attention. It was GREAT!!

Jo This is great,I will be interested in them as well.

I wanted to add my driving comments here, that I deleted from another
thread from a new poster that asked " Can you drive in this bridle?

Absolutely you can drive in this bridle, check out Barb Lee under
photo's as well as Bobcat Farm, we both drive with bitless bridles.

There is also a site in the UK that has many photos of bitless driving,
check it out!

Dr Cook has a proto type-driving bridle for standardbred racing that I
am going to get a hold of and try for a client in my neighboring town
of Mendon that actively races at Plainridge racetrack in Plainville
MA. I am going to his place tomorrow, and I'll use my driving bride first.
I worked with his horse yesterday and one was a handful bitted and
bitless, so I have some work to do!

All the best!
