🤔 Which bit is best for your horse? 🐴 With so many choices, it can feel confusing and overwhelming. 🥵 Here’s the truth: every horse’s mouth is different, and some horses simply prefer different bits than others. That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. 💯 That said, my go-to bit is a loose ring, double-jointed snaffle. ✅ It’s comfortable, has no leverage, and allows your horse to flex left and right easily thanks to the way it sits in their mouth. ⚠️ But remember—switching bits won’t m

Thank you so much to my local riding club for letting me ride non-competitively, in a bitless, western hackamore. Gatsby has spent the last year building his confidence after a bit of an anxious melt down. This was his first time out at a dressage competition after a year of building his confidence. Removing the bit from his mouth was part of restoring the trust between us both. This is a little bit of his working in and the second test - Prelim 13 - not perfect as he found it tricky going into

Dressage is all about harmony, lightness, and communication — yet we still require riders to use a bit. Many argue that a well-trained horse can show softness, collection, and precision without one… while others believe that the bit is part of the classical language of dressage and helps refine the aids. So where do you stand? 👇 Should bitless bridles be permitted in dressage tests — or does that go against tradition and training principles? Let’s keep it respectful — share your thoughts, exper

Too often I hear about the horse needing to do things like: 'Be on the bit' 'Go forward into the contact' 'Seeking contact with the rider's hand' In order to get collection. I don't agree with these requirements. If we would really need this, how could horses ever achieve collection in neckrope, liberty, in the pasture? Think how driving aids can be fulfilled by a leg aid, a whip gently touching the horse, a voice cue, a posture change during liberty work. For me, rein aids are simply that, one

An Interesting Shift in the Welfare Conversation I’m noticing a trend in how we talk about welfare, one that accepts a wide range of horse behaviour but seems far less tolerant of rider behaviour. This isn’t support or criticism, just observation. If a horse acts up but the rider stays calm, it’s generally seen as acceptable. But if a horse is borderline and the rider uses stronger aids or reacts more firmly, it’s often considered wrong. Part of this comes down to perception. Many spectators can
