Bit Selection Starts with Understanding Pressure:
Real contact is achieved by using the minimum pressure necessary to communicate effectively. That is the fundamental principle.
It’s not about “good” pressure versus “bad” pressures. The goal is to find out what type of pressure the individual horse prefers, and work with them to reduce discomfort and stress. This will allow effective schooling, so horses can be trained, rather than forced, to perform. Our collections categorise bits by pressure type, and just as importantly relief types to help you select the right bit.

Bridle Selection and Fitting
Recent studies have shown that bridles can exerts significant pressure on a horses head.
A basic understanding of these pressures, and the anatomical structures they affect can help to select comfortable well fitting bridles, that will enhance, not diminish, the connection between horse and rider
