Our Story
I'm Gail Johnson and I am the Bitting Specialist at HBH. I run the company along with my nephew Alex, Paddy the Patterdale and we are ably assisted by Lady Cath (my mam), the HBH horses and our two pet sheep. HBH brings together the best bits across all of the wide ranges available to give the best possible choice for you and your horse. We have selected bits ranging from the lower priced stainless steel options through to the more expensive (but worth every penny) specialist metals and designs.
I'm available for bitting advice by telephone (07789 587 302) and email ([email protected]) so please contact me with any queries that you have or any bitting issues that you are currently trying to resolve.
The hire service (the Horse Bit Hire Bit Bank) gives you the option to try the bit and see how you get on, safe in the knowledge that if it isn't quite right, you can send it back and you haven't had to add yet another bit to your collection of unsuitable bits. However, most customers do find that with some bitting advice, we normally get it right first time.
Working alongside Heather Hyde firstly as part of the original bit bank and then helping to build Neue Schule for over 6 years, I have broadened my bitting knowledge extensively. I'm also the proud winner of the Neue Schule Bitting Advisor of the Year two years in a row :-) As I sell brands other than Neue Schule, I am an Accredited Retailer for Myler (apparently there are only 25 Myler approved bitting specialists in the country of which I am one!) and received further training with Dale Myler to rebuild on this knowledge.
