Great article on Bridle Fitting
Rachel Murray and colleagues conducted a study to determine areas of pressure under the bridle, and how to alleviate it.
Bridle fit is extremely important to your horses comfort. I look forward to more brands coming out with customized individual bridle parts
**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**
Todays meme relates to browband fit.
Correct bridle fit is essential. Attention is given to the fit of the noseband but, other bridle features are also important to consider.
A browband which is to small, will pull the headpiece forward and cause localised pressures at the base of the ears and in the region of the TMJ. Previously we have demonstrated the effect that increased pressures at the base of the ears and TMJ can have on equine Locomotion.
All bridle features should be considered and reinforces the importance of correct bridle fit and working with a qualified bridle fitter.

Bridle Fitting services now has caveson taper gauges!!
Interesting ... this is still promoted as a good visual for a happy horse .
Now the description on how the foam is caused is correct but horses can not swallow and breathe at the same time , so as a bit fitter when seeing excess salivation to the point of foaming that horse is not swallowing.
*So the tongue is not relaxed to swallow , and tongue relaxation connects to the whole horse relaxation.
*Your cavesson may be too tight preventing the mouth to open slightly to allow the swallowing action.
*The bit may be uncomfortable or your horse could be stressed causing the horse to excessively chew on it causing excessive salvation.
The ideal is to have light salivation on a soft mouth , that helps lubricate the corners of the lips .
❓❓❓ What is the white foam around a horse's mouth and how do I get it?
It’s not uncommon to see professional riders go around with their horses' mouths lathered in white foam, dripping down their legs and chest. But how does this white foam appear and what actually is it?
Horses' saliva has very high concentrations of Latherin, which is a surfactant protein that can turn sweat and saliva into a foam-like substance. Horses have evolved to produce Latherin rich saliva in order to easily digest dry forage and improve thermoregulation. It is important to note that latherin only ‘foams’ up with friction. It would be alarming to see a horse out in the paddock excessively foaming from the mouth (and if this is the case call a vet immediately), however when a horse is being worked with a bit and bridle foamy lips are desired.
The friction and activity of the bit in the horse's mouth transform the Latherin saliva into a soapy-like substance creating ‘happy foam’. Similarly, when the horse is excessively sweating under saddle foam is created with the friction of the saddle pad. Horses have evolved to excrete protein-rich sweat in order to cut through their oily coat and facilitate water flow for evaporation and effective cooling. The term ‘happy mouth’ is used when a horse creates a foamy dribble, this is a good indication that the horse is happy and accepting of the bit as the tongue can relax and the jaw can supple under a soft hand.

Yesterday was a full day of Bit and Bridle Fittings and then the White Hills Pony Club got me in for a talk on bits and bridles. Big thanks to Shawna Rinzler-Johnston , The Baskin family and Mindy Liptay for organizing and getting fittings done !
Returning sponsor McConnell Transport Ltd is sponsoring our 2'9" Hunter Division! Thank you for your continued support!
I have two of these bits in for fittings and trials
Have you tried our Turtle BarSMART yet? If you have a horse that is sensitive or lacks confidence taking the bridle forward, this could be your solution!
🌟The Turtle Bar Smart design delivers comfort, encouraging the horse to seek the mouthpiece, taking the rein forwards, into a stable, sustainable contact, whilst achieving a higher level of feel and responsiveness.
🌟Solid mouthpiece has been specifically designed to relieve pressure over the sensitive outer edges of the horse’s tongue and bars. This is achieved by utilising the thicker, less sensitive centre of the tongue which is proven as a sustainable contact area.
🌟This comfortable, innovative mouthpiece has been developed specifically for flatwork training.
🌟The mouthpiece is in optimum alignment with the tongue’s centre when the horse is in a flatwork outline, so is NOT recommended for faster work or speed control.
