Neue Schule Bit Fitting Clinic
Annette Gavin will be able to work with you and your horse to determine which Neue Schule bit is the most comfortable for your horse. Most horses become better in the mouth, become softer, and swing more in their bodies when the right bit is found. All english disciplines all are welcome!
Annette Gavin with Hastilow USA who has passed the Neue Schule Bitting Training Academy with a credit of pass with distinction.
You will be able to try a variety of bits in different sizes without the cost of purchasing them.
You will be able to rent your preferred bit(s) for 2 weeks after the clinic. Rentals cost 10% of the bit's total cost.
You will spend 30 minutes with Annette
If your horse is showing any sign of discomfort (ie: opening mouth, avoiding contact, pulling on the reins/bit, over curling the neck, twisting at the poll, etc...), this is a great opportunity to ensure it is not your bit causing your horse pain! Studies are now showing that the face and mouth are much more sensitive than we have originally believed.
You would never ride your horse in a poorly fit saddle that hurts your horse's back! Why should you ride your horse with a poorly fit bit that hurts your horse's mouth, causing them to tense up their jaw, mouth, poll, and tongue!
