We are often asked: which bit is suitable for my horse/pony? We are happy to help you answer this question. Our colleague Emma has completed the full IEEBF bit fitting training to provide our customers with optimal advice.
A well-fitting bit and bridle depends on many factors. Knowledge of the anatomy of the horse's head and the correct tack is very important. Many problems are caused by poorly maintained teeth, incorrect use of a bit, the wrong bit choice or a poorly fitting saddle. Common problems include:
Every bitfit session starts with a dental check. It is very important for the position and effect of a bit that the teeth are in order. The front part of the molars, the incisors and any wolf teeth will also be examined.
After the teeth have been checked, the lips, cheeks, tongue, bars, mucosa and palate are examined. It is also checked whether there are any wounds from the current bit or an old trauma.
During a bit fitting session, the current bit is checked for pressure, effect and size. It is also checked whether this bit still fits with the current training goals and expectations.
The current bridle is checked. The fit, size and pressure points are extensively examined.
Based on the findings and the test ride, a bit advice will follow that best suits the combination.
A bit and bridlefit session is not only important when there are problems. A bit and bridlefit session is also important to avoid problems, or to see what can be improved in the mouth and on the head to improve the comfort and performance of the horse.
