Our Services

Samantha offers a full, comprehensive evaluation of your current bridle and bit as well as your horse’s mouth and facial structure. Are you feeling a lack of connection during your rides? Is your horse too strong and pulling or dropping behind the vertical? This means there is an evasion that cannot be ignored.

 How a custom fitting can help horse and rider
‍Horses respond to pressure, both negatively and by the release of it. Bridles are usually the last piece of equipment that riders consider and unfortunately, most bridle manufacturers do not consider individual facial structures when making their bridles. Even some anatomical bridles put pressure on sensitive points. Riders know and understand that nerves and pressure points in the face and neck directly tie into how well a horse can use his back to engage his hind legs, but bridles are overlooked.

Through years of experience, Samantha has thoughtfully chosen brands that fit her ethos of horse equipment. Her attention to a horse’s comfort and well-being is evident in the items she offers, for instance, you won’t find any twisted or corkscrew-style bits or metal nosebands in her kit, even if the brand offers these as an option.

What to expect from your fitting
Samantha will discuss your current setup and consider adjustments to make your horse more comfortable with the items you’re already using. Then you will have the opportunity to ride in a custom-fitted bridle, piece by piece shaped for your horse’s unique anatomy. Samantha will evaluate your horse’s mouth and determine where they are sensitive, then you will have the option to ride in a variety of bits, crown pieces, and nosebands. Each appointment is expected to take 90 minutes so the process is never rushed. Please note, that double bridle fittings often take longer and the snaffle bridle is looked at as well.
