If you’ve ever wondered if you had the “right” bit for your horse, and you’re seeking a better connection, this clinic is for you!

Kim will measure the horse’s mouth and look at the shape and overall anatomy of mouth and then watch the horse go under saddle.  After assessment, you will have the opportunity to ride in several (or many!) different bits to find the one that achieves the best result.

The goal is to find the bit that the horse is the most comfortable in and the horse will demonstrate this pretty clearly. Kim also believes that finding the right bit for the horse and rider combination is important in order to achieve the best harmony between the two. 

Expect the clinic to run similar to a regular riding clinic.

Snaffle Bit only fittings will take approximately 1.0 hour.

Double Bridle Bit fittings will take approximately 1.5 hours (and include a snaffle fitting as well).

Combination of Flat and Jumping Bit fittings will also take approximately 1.5 hours.

Auditing is encouraged!
$10 per person / $5 for NEDA Members
