Common Bit Evasions

£7.99

Positive training is essential for your horse’s happiness and well-being, as we all want our horses to enjoy their work. Good education is the foundation for a horse to thrive and work willingly. While some horses grasp new concepts quickly, others may take more time, which is why patience is crucial.

Bits are simply tools to assist in training; they are not a quick fix. Always remember that your horse is learning too, so allow them the time they need to adapt and progress.

What You’ll Find Inside

With over 35 years of hands-on experience as a bit fitter and equestrian coach, I’ll guide you through common evasive behaviours, what they can indicate, and how to start narrowing down the real cause. This guide includes practical checklists, examples, bit, suggestions, and tips for improving communication between horse and rider.

You’ll also find explanations of bit designs and their functions, with honest advice on which bits may help in specific situations and just as importantly, which ones might make things worse. Whether your horse crosses the jaw, comes behind the contact, or simply never feels quite right in the hand, this guide is here to help you decode what’s going on and make confident, informed decisions that support your horse’s comfort, confidence, and way of going
