Evaluation

Firstly, we will make a pre-ridden assessment – looking at facial conformation of your horse, discussing any concerns or problems that you may be experiencing, and signs of evasion related to the bit.
The horse is then ridden in its normal tack/equipment whilst we observe, assessing for signs of evasion. This gives the rider a chance to impart as much information and feedback as possible, which helps to build a picture in order to assist the bit change.

Discussion

We will then discuss with you the key points that need to be addressed and agree a realistic aim of bit change.
We will select and explain the bit choice, fit, and guide the horse and rider through the transition to the new bit.
Finally, when we can agree that an improvement has been achieved, any recommendations will be recorded on the rider will be able to source the bit at the best price.

Length of consultation

Consultations are run as 1-1 sessions in hourly booked slots, depending on the horse and rider specific needs or concerns, or in small groups together.
Great fun and very informative for riders/owners and you will also learn a great deal from observing!
No horse will be rushed as every horse is different so some may be quicker to respond than others and will be given the appropriate time.
At the end of the consultation we give you a bitting form with the details discussed and suggested recommendations.
We provide details of the bit choices we and a suggested transitioning guide.
Fully independent advice
As independent consultant. I have suggested retailers you may wish to use which give you a discount, or you may wish to source at the best price or second-hand.
It is important to point out that the horse will need time to adjust both physically and mentally to get the best performance and continued results.
