To whom and why?

Bit fittings are suitable for all horse owners or riders, regardless of discipline or breed, who want to ensure their horse's comfort with bits and improve its oral health in a positive direction.

Bit fitting is especially well-suited for horse-rider pairs who have a history of mouth or bit problems, challenges with rideability or driving, or those who suspect that the current bit is not the correct size or otherwise suitable in terms of model/material for the horse.

We constantly collaborate with veterinarians, equine bodywork professionals, trainers, and horse breakers when searching for a suitable bit, meaning your own support team is also welcome to attend the fitting, or the fitting can even be carried out during a training session.

What kind of things can be repaired?

resistance to the bit, unwillingness to take the bit or bridle
bit size, anatomical fit and correct material, correct thickness
sores/problems at the corners of the mouth and mucous membranes
various contact problems - evading contact or leaning against the contact
discomfort while riding - head tossing, biting the bit, rattling, grinding
tongue problems - throwing the tongue, lolling the tongue, mouth restlessness
riding challenges - fine-tuning, tension, adjusting the frame
finding a suitable jumping or cross-country bit in show jumping and eventing, jumping together
finding a suitable bit for harness racing/racing

a fitting doesn't always have to be about a problem either - a fitting gives the rider the opportunity
to make adjustments in different situations with different bits and to feel the differences in how different materials and models change the horse!

Watch our demo video from the Horse Fair below, where we concretely demonstrate the difference between a good bit, a bad bit, and another good bit with a sensitive horse, both in the horse's movement and its motivation to work.
