🦷 🐴 BIT FITTING & EQUINE DENTAL PACKAGE 🐴 🦷

If you describe your horse as any of the following:

❌Fussy in the contact
❌Not accepting the bit
❌Throwing his head to evade the contact
❌Pulling or leaning
❌Chewing or putting the tongue out or over the bit
❌Stiff on one or both reins
❌Not responding to the aids fast enough

💡 If your horse is doing any of the above then it is likely to be contributed to dental or bitting issues. A balanced mouth and a change of bit can improve your horse exponentially!

🤯Bitting is a minefield and with so many choices how do you know which one is right for you and your horse?

🤷🏼‍♀️The bit you think may be right for your discipline or needs could actually put too much pressure on either the bars, tongue or poll for your horse’s liking, additionally, your horse may have wolf teeth, sharp points or even bone spurs on the bars of the mouth.

🦷 The difference of my service to other fitters is I am an Equine Dentist so as part of your fitting I can fully assess the mouth and correct any dental issues that are present.

✅ I carry a selection of different brands carefully selected by me to address the many bitting issues I come across. You can ride in each bit until the right match is found for you and your horse.

📞 Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your horse. You can send me a private message or call me on 07311070385

Double bridle bits are a common piece of equipment used in horse riding, particularly in disciplines such as dressage and show jumping. They consist of two separate bits - a snaffle bit and a curb bit - which are used together to provide more control and communication with the horse. The snaffle bit...

Fager Nils is suitable if you would describe your horse as the following;

💙Pulls against a contact yet reacts to increased pressure.
💙Unsteady in the connection.
💙Feels stiff in any standard straight bit.
💙Doesn’t instinctively seek out the contact.

Fager Nils is a stable barrelled sweet tasting bit which fits comfortably in the mouth and contours naturally over the tongue. The barrelled tube mouthpiece creates a fast, natural lock in any direction making Nils an ideal solution use with horses who need encouragement to actively seek more contact, without feeling stiff in the hand.

The Nils design is well suited to horses with sensitive mouths who cut easily, quickly developing sores/wounds in the corners of their mouths.

Nils is designed to give extra stability in the mouth for more direct, effective communication making it less confusing for horses who don’t instinctively respond to the aids. It works to keep the correct balance point (BP) in the mouth. Bit designs which create a bigger bend forward, also move the BP forward therefore reducing the effectiveness of the aids.

Nils is the ideal model to combine with your other bits, alternating regularly to vary the pressure points and keep communication direct and focused.

Did you know the benefits of a Kimblehook?

The Kimblehook can be described as a fixed ring with the possibility to add leverage when you need it. The further down you place your rein; the more pressure will be added and divided between chin, poll, and mouth.

The stable feeling Kimblehook creates can be good for fuzzy and worried horses that get strong, unbalanced, and hard to turn.

The Kimblehook puts the pressure further down in the mouth which can help a horse that gets too high in the neck.

FAGER CARL TITANIUM KIMBLEHOOK

If you would describe your horse as something with the following;

✔️Heavy in your hand
✔️Tries to avoid the bit, fussy in the contact
Strong, usually lean/pull on the bit
✔️Won't accept the bit or just for short times
✔️Usually drops/chew on the bit and feel uncomfortable

The effect of a Kimblehook is more direct than curbs with longer shanks. The lower the rein is placed on the sides, the sharper this bit will be.

The mouthpiece of Carl follows the natural shape of the mouth with a short centrepiece that lay flat against the tongue and eliminates palate interference.

💙Try to put the tongue over the bit
💙Making sudden fast head-movements to escape the connection from the reins.

LOOSE RING PORTED BARREL

Bombers Loose Ring Ported Barrel allows for immediate release and relief from tongue and bar pressure. The bit is immediately reset to a neutral position in the horse's mouth.

The Ported Barrel was created to relieve pressure on the tongue via the the medium port. As a result, this creates space for the tongue. The Barrel joint relieves pressure on the bars by spreading it over a larger area and limiting the nut cracker action of a conventional snaffle.

The Elliptical Full Cheek is a 45 mm lozenge, it is stronger than the Control Plate due to it having a smaller surface area. Consequently, a horse using his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.
