Looking forward to this collaboration so much that can be achieved together

Thrilled to announce our Bit Assessment & Training Clinic - 28th October

Each one-hour individual session includes:

* Static assessment with Gill
Gill assesses the horse’s mouth, facial anatomy, current bridle and bit fit while the horse is standing.
* Ridden warm-up and assessment
The rider warms up in their usual equipment while Gill and I assess the horse’s way of going, contact, comfort and any specific difficulties.
* Initial adjustment
Gill recommends and fits a different bit or makes changes to the existing setup.
* Ridden lesson and evaluation
I continue with the lesson while Gill evaluates the horse’s response. Further adjustments can be made if necessary, followed by final recommendations.
* Written report
Each rider receives a written report summarising the assessment, changes made and recommendations.

There's alot happening behind the scenes...hence a little quiet on socials more recently.
New venues for clinics - New way of learning for all horse owners and Gill will be voicing her thoughts and take on how we improve our view to what bits can do, their use and when its not ok for the horse!!!

So happy for Megan Harper one of my trainees and such an accomplished knowledgeable horse woman easy to recommend her 💯

So, time to properly introduce my new venture! 🐴

After a wonderful 22 years working for Martin Jones on a breaking and pre-training yard, predominantly with racehorses, it felt like the right time to carve my own path.

I have recently taken on a small yard in the most wonderful setting, where I will be offering individual, bespoke livery for training and rehabilitation.

My philosophy is simple: a happy, healthy horse is a willing horse. By giving the best to our horses, they can give their best back to us and to our sport, whatever the discipline.

Alongside the yard, I have also trained and qualified as a bit fitter.

Whilst backing and producing horses, I quickly realised just how much difference the right bit can make to a horse’s comfort, way of going and overall performance. This has led me to believe that correct bit fit is just as important as correct saddle fit, and deserves the same level of attention and consideration.

Alongside the business, I continue to event my own horses and have enjoyed plenty of success over the years, particularly with ex-racehorses. My passion for eventing began whilst working for Olympic gold medallist Leslie Law, and I also studied for and obtained a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science.

I’m incredibly excited to be starting this next chapter and combining the experience I’ve gained throughout my career with my passion for producing, rehabilitating and helping horses to perform at their best.

The best response at the end of the day, after a bitting consultation from a nervous rider and a big young horse coming back to work after a significant injury. 🙌🍻

DID YOU KNOW that you can host your very own bit and bridle clinic at your yard?

All you need is a minimum of 4 people, and a suitable area to carry out your assessment.

After Gill initial assessment, which she will talk you through so you can keep an eye on any changes, you will be able to trial a selection of bits which have been specifically chosen to suit your horse.

You can also have a trial ride in the Quantum Bridle.
