“The bit<\/span> that fits<\/span>.”<\/h2><\/div>
[vc_custom_heading text=”G\u00e9raldine Vandevenne” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”fs18″ css=”.vc_custom_1615193173594{margin-top: 15px !important;}”]Like a lot of people, I have been passionate about horses since I was very young. My grandfather was a horse trainer, and he used to talk to me about his adventures with horses. However, I never thought my passion would become my job\u2026<\/p>\n

After an accident, my young mare had to undergo a tooth extraction, and from that moment I became interested in dental care for horses. I already had a profession and was working full time, but I resumed my studies and I\u2019ve never looked back since.<\/p>\n

Through my work as an equine dental technician, I have encountered problems related to the bit, and riders have asked me for advice about mouthpieces. I had the opportunity to meet others who were as interested as I was in mouthpieces, nosebands, etc. and to take courses on the subject in the Netherlands, Germany and England.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”fs18″ css=”.vc_custom_1615193181401{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]I also took training courses in a variety of areas such as osteopathy, saddle fitting, horse feeding, breeding, etc. and I still follow training courses and congresses about horses,\u2026
\nIn the meantime, I have been fortunate to be able to write some articles on the subject, and to start up a training school and a professional bit fitters association in France.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1615054138601{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column]

Fitted bit and bridle improve the movement<\/span> of your horse. Let\u2019s find the bit and bridle that will make the difference!<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”fs18″]Every horse has its own preference for a particular bit.<\/p>\n

The bit must be adapted to suit the mouth of the horse, not the other way round!<\/p>\n

Whatever type of bit is used, it always causes pressure on the horse\u2019s head and inside its mouth. That is why it is important to adapt the points of pressure according to your horse\u2019s needs. If the bit is not suited to the horse, the horse will complain.<\/p>\n
