Bit & Bridle Consultation
Thankyou for choosing EquiMotion to help you keep your horse performing well, in the most comfortable way possible. Please take the time (sorry we know it's quite long!) to complete this form as fully as possible, it really helps us understand your horse and his/her needs before we meet you.

For all consulations involving bit fit, we strongly recommend that we see your horse move in it's bridle and new bit, this is to allow us to analyse the impact that each mouthpiece has on the horse's biomechanics. This does not have to be in an arena, provided you have somewhere safe and flat to ride or lunge, a field etc is fine. It also give's us chance to make sure that you are happy as a rider with the feel of the new bit.

If your horse is newly started, then even just a ridden walking pace will be of great benefit, and provide us with lots of information. Lunging as an alternative to riding is also acceptable, if this is appropriate for you and your horse (please select ridden consultation).

For SMART saddle test rides, please ensure that you have familarised yourself with the process of saddle rental should you wish to do so, details can be found on the SMART website here https://www.smartsaddles.com/book-a-test-ride/home-consultation.php

Please take a look at our website to ensure you know what to expect during your consulation, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
