Will the bit fit be ridden or non-ridden?

Even if the bit fit session is for a horse not being ridden, please answer as many questions below as possible.

Please be aware, in a non-ridden session I will focus on your current bit and bridle fit, and your horse's oral anatomy. I can suggest possible bits to investigate for your horse, however they will only be best guesses, as your horse will react differently to the bit when the pressure of a rider is applied. Therefore, where possible, a ridden session is best.

Are you looking for a bit fit for a snaffle, double, bitless bridle or other type of bit?

Other - please specify

What discipline(s) do you currently compete in, or plan to compete in?

Will you need multiple bit fit sessions for different disciplines? (For example, a bit fit session for dressage and a bit fit session for x-country, ideally at a x-country course)

Do you require a bridle fit (a bit fit session includes assessment of your current bridle. I can also do measurements and a custom bridle fit for Flexible Fit bridles, if you would like this, please tick "Yes" here. There is an extra cost for this option as it does add time to the appointment)

When did your horse last see the dentist? - A dentist visit must have occurred within the last 12 months. For horses below the age of 7 years, within the last 6 months

When did your horse last receive bodywork? - The horse's body and any injuries or areas of discomfort can impact their ridden performance, hence bodywork is an important component of horse management.

When was your saddle fitted last?

What bit do you currently use? - If you are looking for a fitting for a double bridle, please list the bradoon and/or weymouth you currently use.

What size is your current bit?

What bits have you tried in the past and what response did your horse have to the bit?

What issues do you have with your current bit? Select all that apply

Any other behaviours your horse shows with the bit?

Anything else you would like to add?

A ridden session takes around 2 hours. What days can you be available for the session (note: if only weekends, it may be a while before I have availability). Please note, a fitting for a double bridle is likely to take longer as we need to fit the bradoon and the Weymouth bits. A double bridle fitting may be spread over two fitting sessions.
