Hilary's philosophy...

I had the great good fortune to have all my early lessons in Horsemanship and Riding given by very traditional patient people for whom the Horse always came first and the Rider second. I hope that has set me in good stead for my own career.

I have ended up Bitting Horses for a living as a natural progression to all the work I have done and all the information I have collected on the subject over the years. And I might add am still collecting and never cease to continue to learn more as I go onwards and hopefully upwards!

I think finding the right bit for your horse should be a blend of taking the time to seek obedience through correct schooling and the right degree of control, tempered with understanding on the owner's part of the horse's mind set, welfare and structural comfort.

I really enjoy working with Horses and their owners and am just as thrilled to get good results from Horses that Hack to top Competition Horses.

I have Bitted Horses following the work of Equine Dentists and Veterinary Surgeons and Equine Therapists liaising with them to continue the recovery of individual cases.

My work helping with communication in the schooling programmes of Horses with behavioural problems is one of the most rewarding.

In short I just want to help people to bit Horses to the best of their capabilities not to sell bits for the sake of a sale, as most of my clients so far I'm sure will agree.

It is really a dream job to get paid to spend most days with Horses and their owners, the only down side is all the travelling!
