When was the last time you looked in your horses mouth? ๐Ÿฆท๐Ÿ‘€

๐ŸŽ We check for injuries daily while grooming, watch how our horse walks in from the field to make sure theyโ€™re sound and itโ€™s just as important to make sure we are checking for any changes in our horses mouths too. How would you know if your horse has broken a tooth without checking?

๐ŸŽ This is an older horse who had this injury a long time ago and itโ€™s something the owner checks frequently to make sure there is no infection/ swelling or discomfort as well as having regular checks by his equine dental technician.

๐ŸŽ It is also important for those of us who have youngsters to be aware of the changes going on in their mouths, erupting teeth can be very sore and make a huge impact in your horses way of going and even their willingness to be bridled.

Message us today to get booked in for your bit and bridle fitting sessions ๐Ÿ“†๐ŸŽ

These sessions are a fantastic way to ensure your horse is as comfortable as possible in their mouth and can help to remedy many different evasions or struggles within your training.

Whether youโ€™re competing at Discovery, strutting your stuff in Grand Prix dressage or enjoy hacking and sponsored rides with your horse here at Bespoke Leatherware we have advice to help everyone better understand their horses.

As an independent fitter your horses unique needs always come first allowing us to find the perfect bit regardless of brand. Sessions are usually between 60-90 minutes and involve a full face, mouth and neck assessment, a bridle check to ensure everything is fitted correctly and comfortably and ending with a ridden assessment where we will make changes to your horses bit and bridle and watch the magic happen ๐Ÿคฉ

Here at Bespoke Leatherware your horses comfort and happiness comes first, the aim of all our bit fitting consultations is to create harmony between horse and rider where the horse is able to move freely and correctly - happy horse, happy rider!

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒŽ World Leather Day! ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽ‰

Modern leather production today prioritises sustainability, making it an incredibly environmentally friendly material. Not only is it making use of a waste product from the meat industry but tanneries also have to follow strict standards to make sure the leather produced is top quality and sustainable for years to come.

At Bespoke Leatherware we only use the highest quality English tanned leather to ensure the longevity of our work thanks to its unique properties.

Good quality leather can be easily repaired, reused and repurposed making it an incredibly long lasting material. Iโ€™m sure everyone has a bridle floating around the tack room thatโ€™s as old as the hills and still in usable condition (with some loving care and a check over from your local saddler ๐Ÿคช) but how many of these cheap imported bridles will last that amount of time??

Harsh chemical treatments used to speed up the production of leather damages the integrity of the fibres and heavily impacts the strength of the material, please buy regulated, English leather products for yours and your horses safety!

A fascinating video explaining the effects of working horses too young before their bones have finished fusing.

Here Becks Nairn focuses on the sacroiliac joint which is crucial in providing stability to the horse and the damage shown in boney spurs and ossification (bone formation) when these horses are worked before this stability can form in the joint.

I think we can all agree these results are shocking, our training methods should never cause physical damage to our horses, we have such a responsibility to better understand our horses and how our actions can effect them.

It is a privilege for us to be able to ride, not a right and we need to do better.
