The Bit Box: Bit and Bridle Consultant

09/07/2025

I started on this journey after the struggles of my own horses's rehabilitation, I saw the difference consistency can make, and the benefit of having care from a commited professional.

I was, truthfully inspired.

I believe in building real, lasting results through regular care — not just the occasional one-off appointment. l want build a relationship with clients and provide the detailed care they need, and most importantly I want to work with clients who are as invested as I am.

That’s why I’ve created a Monthly Massage Club designed to support your horse’s long-term wellbeing and performance.

For just £32/month, members receive:
✅ A Monthly Massage at a discounted rate (compared to £40 for advocate sessions)
✅ Access to all treatment modalities — tailored to your horse's individual needs
✅ Priority Booking — Care when it suits you and your horses.
✅ A FREE Bit & Bridle Assessment after 3 months of membership
✅ Ongoing support, check ins and commitment from me

I’m here to build a relationship with you and your horse, to truly make a difference over time.
Let’s give your horse the consistent care they deserve. 💆‍♂️🐎

Limited spots available to ensure each horse gets the attention they need.

Not Linked, Just Passionate

I’m not affiliated with any specific bit brand, whilst there are brands I prefer I do not exclude any. Everything I share comes from personal experience, years of trialling different bits in different circumstances, and a desire to find what works best for each individual horse.

I have built up a collection of bits from a variety of brands.

I believe in carefully selecting bits based on the horse's anatomy, the discipline, the rider and the mechanism and design of each bit.
I aim to give riders the freedom to find and trial what fits for them, not just what’s currently trending.
