We've been fairly quiet with posts lately, but there's just so much happening behind the scenes of Horse Bit Fit Academy... lots of news to come over next few months....

New companies we're in discussions with, to work alongside, and help our existing EAPER listed Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultants, and the newly Accredited coming along.

EAPER listings expanded to include existing LANTRA Accredited Consultants, not just trained by Academy... and some big news for the Academy itself...

There's never been a better time to expand your Bit and Bridle Fitting knowledge. Or maybe become your own boss as an LANTRA Accredited Consultant, or join our ever growing list of EAPER Consultants.

Opportunities...

**Exciting opportunities for Bit and Bridle retailers/suppliers/makers**

HBFA has always worked alongside 1, or 2 Retailers/Suppliers, mainly because as a Company we worked with them, to design, and trial many Bits and Bridles. Horsemanship Saddlery being one of them, with their Orbit, Eclipse, and many Bridles being brought to market with HBF input...

Our business structure has changed, and many excellent Consultants are graduating through the Academy now, UK and Worldwide. This brings new challenges, and new opportunities for many Companies besides us...

What are we looking for? Several Companies we can recommend to Consultants, and then their Clients, through the products taken to Consultations. Companies who meet our ethos with their products, and may even be willing to work alongside us.

If you think you may have a few products, Bits and Bridles only, that our Consultants could recommend, please email [email protected]

Thanks Carol

HBFA News:

As a company we've looked at our yearly increase in Course fees, and decided to have NO increase this year, this will reviewed again February 2024... we're hoping this helps the many horse owners, riders who want to, and are considering signing up for our Courses. From those just wishing to expand their knowledge, and importantly the many wanting to change careers, start out on their own with a Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultancy. There's never been a better time to be your own boss...

We are doing away with our EAPER Basic Listings on the website. With 20 plus LANTRA Accredited, HBFA Certified, Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultants, covering whole UK, and several overseas. More being added monthly, as a company we feel this is more what Clients are looking for. The Associate EAPER listings for Consultants will remain, and also be free for next 12 months. Again, we hope this helps those listed...

More admin have been taken on, for those wanting info on Course, to enrol on Courses. With quicker turnover of emails, whether in UK, or overseas... thank you for your support this past 12 months. Been an amazing year the Academy...

*Thoughts For February*

How many times do you see stated "French Link is a kind Bit"? Still on many Bitting websites, and taught (not on our Courses!)

When you look at a link on the tongue, with no contact on reins it appears to be flat. Now under contact, the link rotates, thin edge digging into the tongue, working angle (as in pic) This is NOT a kind Bit...

Funnily enough the Dr Bristol is much despised, but fitted correctly, and under contact, works as designed. The plate will sit flat on the tongue.

Also note French Link is not a Lozenge, or Peanut. These are something totally different in shape, and can be kinder under contact. But only if the cannon joints sit flat on tongue too under contact, as in something like an NS Team Up....

Note the grooves in palate, and the prominent one this Bit is fitted to, as per "Cobbett Groove Bitting Rule" (to be discussed later)

More info on our Courses, busting many Bitting Myths horsebitfit.com

Horse Bit Fit Academy News Updates:
Bit and Bridle Consultants, Equine Professionals...

-As many of you are aware Horse Bit Fit ran a successful Consultancy for several years, this controlled standards of training, that Consultants were Insured, DBS checks, doing regular CPD, and had the ethos that was so needed for welfare of the horse in ridden work, and improvements in horse's performance. It regulated many Consultants out there working. Clients were guaranteed a certain standard. Unfortunately this no longer exists, and we're back to lots of fitters working on their own with no guarantee of standards....

-The Ethos Register on our website, was set up to make it easier for everyone looking for Bit and Bridle Consultants, and Equine Professionals. Standards being guaranteed by training through Horse Bit Fit Academy. This is now going to be expanded to an Association as such....

"Equine Accredited Professionals Ethos Register"
EAPER
There will be 2 membership options for those working in the industry, and training through the HBFA. An excellent way to find the Consultant or Professional you need, with qualifications and standard you want

Basic Membership, for Equine Professionals trained to the standard of our Intro Bit and Bridle Fitting Course with HBFA or LANTRA Certificates...

Associate Membership, for Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultants with standard of our Advanced Consultant Course with HBFA, or LANTRA Certificates. They will possess Certificate of Membership so Clients can be guaranteed the standard of training, and that it's kept up to date.

Horse Bit Fit Academy News Updates....

From February 1st 2022 HBFA are restructuring the Course Fees. We listened to feedback, and how some found the different Accreditations, and Fees confusing.

There will be just 2 levels of Fees, and a Combination Fee for all Courses, plus total Fees for Consultant Course. Unfortunately there will be increases in some Fees, due to our costs overall as a Company going up, but some Fees will stay the same. We've tried not increasing any Fees, as we know costs for horse owners are also going up, and we've had no increase for 3 years.

As there are waiting lists for Students, we will honour the original fees if deposit paid before February 1st 2022, for period of 3 months. Basically that means fees will be held, until April for any student on a waiting list, long as a deposit paid.

We are also introducing a new Certificate, available for those who don't require, or need LANTRA, but want same standard of training, especially those overseas. HBFA (Horse Bit Fit Academy) Certificate.

More details of all the above horsebitfit.com

Horse Bit Fit, leading the way in Equine Education. LANTRA, UKRS, and CPD Accreditations available. Bit and Bridle Fitting Courses. Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultant Courses. Ethos Register with the Professionals you need, and the qualifications you want.

06/01/2022

Happy New Year to you all, and let's hope 2022 brings you everything Equine that you wish for...
We are looking at the Course fees, with costs going up daily. But, we are also looking at other options instead of increasing, as we know money can be tight for horse owners too, and we just want the Horse Bit Fit Academy knowledge, and ethos, out to as many owners as possible..
A new Course available, no time limit for completion (within 6 months), no set enrolment dates, just hop on, hop off as such, for horse owners just wanting to increase their knowledge of Bit and Bridle fitting, for horse's welfare and performance.
A different structure to Consultant Courses especially for those overseas, and already qualified, or accredited in another Equine field...
Anything else you'd like to see Course wise?

Advanced Consultant Course: will enable you to set up your own Bit and Bridle Fitting Consultancy. Advice given how to set it up, and run it if needed.

Both Courses with LANTRA Accreditation entitle you and your business to a listing on the Ethos Register where clients can easily find you. Our website has 1000-2000 new visitors each month, 5000 with repeats. Enquiries received daily. A listing is free.
