Dear Dr Bob Cook was a true friend to the horse. Bob was the kindest and most generous man one had the pleasure to meet. He was always happy to share his expertise and wisdom. My life changed course because of Bob's drive and energy to educate on the harm of 'bits' in horses mouths, and through his work my commitment to horse welfare flourished.
