We spent the afternoon with Louise Bates from Bit to Perfection to try & help Louie feel as comfortable as possible in both his bit & bridle. For me, it was an afternoon full of discovery and education all about horse anatomy & what part affects which other parts of the body, as well as understanding the influence of pressure points. Fingers crossed we’ve found the solution that helps us out, moving to a Micklem bridle, and feeling very comfortable & stable in a brand new Neue Schule bit... Typically, we settled on a bit that is sold out everywhere in the UK in our size, so I’ll be looking forward to getting cracking once that arrives. For now, I’ll be adjusting the bridle and using a temporary bitting solution to get us started!

Keep your eyes peeled for the full blog post about the session coming soon! 👀
