Wednesday Video from Kentucky Performance Products: Bit Fitting – Demystified

You probably spent plenty of time — and money — ensuring your horse’s saddle fits perfectly; likewise, you’d never get your farrier to put the wrong size shoes on his hooves. But have you put the same thought and attention into how his bit fits, or have you eyeballed it, checked the level in his mouth by counting the wrinkles in the corners of his lips, and called it good? There’s actually loads more to bit-fitting, including a deeper understanding of oral anatomy (like, yes, low palates and chubby tongues absolutely do affect the kind of mouthpiece you can comfortably use!), and this video from the FEI is aiming to make the whole thing a little bit more clear. And if all else fails? There’s a growing industry of bitting experts who’ll just bring a load to your barn for you to try, which is quite cool, all things considered!
