Naively all I want to do is Bit Horses and Ponies as well as possible, so as I never really know what sort of Horse or Pony I might be asked to help with next having a really excellent variety of well made Bits is essential to my Bitting work.

I have designed Bits with Abbey Saddlery for individual clients for many years and it was decided at the end of 2007 to bring out a whole range of Bits to give me a wider and more readily available choice for Bitting.

The Inspiration: A comfortable Horse will be a more relaxed Horse and therefore a less resistant Horse. If the Rider has good clear signals from a well designed Bit then the Horse is able to understand and respond quickly and smoothly in a controlled manner.

The Range: Informed Designs is a comprehensive range of bits to suit horses and ponies in all areas of Pleasure and Competitive Riding and Driving. The range includes: Dressage Jumping Showing Driving and Hacking Bits with special Small Pony Show and In Hand Bits and Pony Dressage Bits. A variety of mouthpieces for these disciplines means you have a choice to ensure effective bitting for individual Horses and Ponies.
