Thank you Tina for taking time to leave a kind review. This little chap could be quite a challenge and this is where being a bit consultant is quite different to being a bit fitter. Having the experience and the confidence to be able to look at the issues in their entirety to achieve the best outcome for everyone 😍

Omg! I have wanted one of these for the longest time. Meet Maja (Polish girl’s name) my new addition.

But I just love educating and being educated, it’s what life is all about. Florence seems particularly interested.

Just in the past week I have been out to two 5 year olds who still had their wolf teeth 🦷 and the owners had no idea. In the younger ridden horse, I always recommend having them removed. They don’t have any purpose and can just be a catalyst for bitting issues; the longer they are left insitu, the more problematic they can be when removed.

Eeeek! Part 2 of my article on bit and bridle fitting. And if I do say so myself, this is rather a good one. Due out in December, more details to follow. Lots of easy to follow advice on bit fitting. I am an independant bit consultant and carry lots of different well known brands in bits and bridles. Handful of appointments available in December.

Well I made it to Peterborough and the Equestrian Business awards! Only two major fails.
a) I forgot to bring my foundation with me which at my age isn’t ideal 🤦🏻‍♀️
b) I didn’t include breakfast in my booking 🥹

Did you know Horsemanship Saddlery will only allow suitably qualified and approved bridle consultants to be listed on their site? That is why they are fitted by independent consultants who value reputation, quality and welfare over profit. No sales pitch or gimmicks.

This is the most beautiful bridle, particularly for the dressage arena! I have one of these in stock and it’s available in a variety of headpieces to obtain the correct fit 😍 I carry around 6 different anatomical headpieces for each SIZE in the brand alone; & of course carry a few different brands.
