Double Bridle Fitting

This week has been another rather busy one, with lots of bitting consultations and training appointments all over the South East.


Confidence Riding Coach Jade Hatfield

On Saturday I returned to Barnley Equestrian Centre in Haverhill to see lovely Confidence Coach Jade Hatfield (see her coaching page HERE) and her handsome boy Cosmo. Jade is a qualified coach who knows how important it is to get everything right for horses when you are not just training but when you are aiming to compete too. She is a fantastic coach for riders who may want a little more support on their riding journey. If you are struggling with confidence, or want to learn more pop her a message,.


Jades Horse Cosmo

We fitted him with a new set of double bits to help him be a little lighter in the contact. He adapted straight away, and became much lighter and responsive for Jade. He really started to bring his hind more under and active so Jade could really start to change his frame and lift the shoulders. She has such a lovely, educated approach to training and it really shows in Cosmo. If you are in her area, I highly recommend her coaching! Find more information about Jade HERE


I also met lovely Laura and her 19 year old boy Uzi, they have had many years of fun together and recently winning the Showjumping! (bottom photos) He has been fussy in the contact for some time – so we changed him into a more comfortable bit for a senior gentleman. And the change was immediate. Happy horse and happy rider! Lovely result!
