What to Expect from a Bit Fitting Appointment
Each horse bit fitting consultation includes:
- A detailed anatomical and behavioural assessment
- Discussion of your horse’s history, needs and preferences
- Bit trials with immediate feedback
- Clear explanation of findings and recommendations
- Notes to keep for future reference
Appointments typically take 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the horse and number of trials. We advise having your usual tack and handler or rider available.
A Wide Range of Quality Bits Available for Trial
We carry an extensive selection of bits from trusted brands. These include loose ring snaffles, eggbutts, Weymouths, pelhams, double bridles and more. During your consultation, you can try different styles to see which one your horse responds to best. We never push a particular brand. Instead, we focus on comfort, clarity and effectiveness.
Each fitting includes the opportunity to test ride with different bits, giving real-time feedback to help refine the choice. Trials are only carried out during appointments, and not as a separate service.
