I went to see Dana and Blaze back in May, and poor Dana was nearly at the point of making the decision to retire Blaze at the age of 8 years.
A year ago, Blaze was diagnosed with TMJ disease. After many treatments and her TMJ being medicated, nothing seemed to help or make poor Blaze comfortable in her ridden work. To the point, she refused to move with a bridle on and throw people off.
I went to do a bit consult and fit the Quantum Bridle to see if we could help Blaze and Dana. I didn't video the before as it was horrendous, and even I wasn't sure if I could help. But the transformation once we put the new bit and bridle on was amazing! I could feel Blaze relaxing into the bridle as I was fitting it, and it just got better and better as time went on.
This is Dana story in her own words...
"In March last year Blaze started head flicking, evading putting her bit and bridle on, pulling and feeling like she wasn’t working correctly. We had a few chiropractor sessions, several dental appointments to see if we could correct what ever was bothering her, but nothing changed. We then went down the vet route to get to the bottom of the issue, had multiple x-rays after osteopathy did not help as much as hoped and she then had her TMJs medicated after being told that she has TMJ disease. Unfortunately we then had to take another break in November 2023 due to having canker and requiring surgery. Once she came back into work in the new year it wasn’t long before the steroid injections wore off and Blaze was visibly uncomfortable again, planting as soon as I asked for trot and threatening to buck and constantly head flicking, in fact it was worse than before! Blaze was a lot more comfortable after a massage and osteopathy session however I was reluctant to carry on just medicating and masking the problem. My mum then suggested we try the quantum bridle and have a bit fitted, I was really at the end of my teather and didn’t really think it would help, I was on the verge
A little before and after video of Lauren and Boo who I visited a couple of weeks ago.
A change of bit, replaced her Micklem bridle for a simple cavasson bridle and what a difference. Think you'll all agree!!!
Please drop me a message if you would like to book in for a bit consult

It wouldn't be agility without the infamous flag flying 🇬🇧
Last Friday, I visited Gemma and her daughter's horse Gino. I was booked for a general bit assessment and to hopefully help with how strong Gino gets when ridden. They have had Gino around a year now.
In the first part of the video, you can see Gino goes round with a high head carriage, and with any rein contact, he fights and rushes off becoming strong.
We tried a couple of bits based on what i observed and mouth confirmation. Once we agreed on a bit, I asked Gemma if I could put the Quantum Bridle on to see if I could improve further on Gino's way of going.
You can see from the second part of the video, we definitely did! He's softer and seeking down into the contact. Gino can not maintain this better way of going for long as he will not have the strength, muscle, or confidence to do so, but with time, this will lengthen.
If you would like to book a bit consult or Quantum Bridle fitting please drop me a message.
