Bit & Bridle Fitting Consultations

Bit Fitting & Measuring

You have likely landed here out of curiosity or meeting us out in the wild!

Are you looking to ensure your horse is the most comfortable it can be in its' current bit and bridle set up? Or are you here because you're having difficulties finding the right fit?

Not sure if your horse is comfortable?

Take a peek at this brief checklist to see if your horse is displaying any common evasion symptoms. 

Either way, you're in the right place! 

Currently Carissa is offering discounted bit fitting appointments until she has completed her Bit and Bridle Fitting certification. She is currently half way through her course and anticipates being fully certified within the next couple months.

Cost per horse is $75 cash or $78.75 if paid by etransfer due to tax. 
*additional travel fee will be added for appointments outside of the Fraser Valley*
*We are based out of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada

What does an appointment include?

  • Discussing your horses history, training, concerns with you
  • Measuring their mouth
  • Assessing their mouth anatomy
  • Assessing their bridle fit
  • Ridden portion where you try some bits
I will send you a form to collect your details that must be completed a minimum 24 hours before your appointment. 
The appointment is typically 1-1.5 hours long per horse. This range varies depending on how cooperative your horse is and how many bits we try. 
For the appointment, your horse needs to be tacked and be ready to ride, but without their bridle. 

There you have it! All the details.

Her Education: 

The lower mainland currently does not have any formally educated bit fitters so Carissa is looking forward to filling this gap. 

The LANTRA certification she is working towards originated in the UK, where bit fitting is as widely done as saddle fitting is here! There currently is no education or certification that is North America based, thus she is pursuing this one.
