Host Tara Graham; 'The Equine Bit Fitter'
Tara is a certified bit & bridle fitter, equine bodyworker and equine anatomy enthusiast.
Her popular clinic
'Bits, bridles &
biomechanics' books out for months in advance.
Tara has a unique approach to bit and bridle fitting, which draws on her extensive training in equine osteopathy, bodywork and cranio sacral therapy.
Her fitting method includes an 8 point examination of the horse's mouth and assessment of the cranial structures, followed by testing of top quality bits for each horse and rider pair. There is no obligation to purchase a bit; she is not a bit brand rep.
Tara's background and vast experience allows her to remain brand independent and objective in her approach to bit & bridle fitting.
