My wholesalers are trying very hard to keep things going for their retailers and are more or less back to full time work now with most of their staff
We are experiencing some problems with postage parcels get posted within 24hrs of ordering and some arrive the next day and some are taking longer and as no one is being asked to sign they are hard to trace But I am happy to issue a refund if I cannot get you your bit to you within in a reasonable time Hilary xx

I first met Hilary Vernon when she came to do a clinic at a livery yard I was running & it was a bit of a ‘lightbulb moment’.We spend a fortune on saddle fit & physios,but rarely consider the physiology of the horses mouth,how it connects to the rest of the body & how much it influences their way of going,yet it is one of the major routes of communication from rider to horse.I was delighted when Hilary offered to train me to fit her bits & give me the opportunity to make many more horses comfortable in their mouths & improve that line of communication.
Leisa is based in a couple of areas at the moment and can cover Staffordshire and surrounding counties just ask her she has done a lot of traveling lately on her bitting quests

We do not bit to hurt but to handle.
Brands Carried
In order to assure that we have enough variety to bit a broad spectrum of Horses and Ponies we have always carried a variety of brands
I only made my own bits because I could not find all the mouthpieces and all the cheeks that I needed to do a good job
But we also carry
Bomber Bits
Happy Mouth Bits
Rotary Bits
Myler Bits
and my own
Informed Designs
Bridle Work and Saddle Checks
We have always for years automatically in the course of a consultation checked Bridle work [bridle fit, head pressure points and noseband tension] and Saddle [discussing saddle fit and balance] Girth fit and suitability and give recommendations for all if needed We do not however try to persuade you to change your tack if it is not warranted or where a couple of tweeks could make a difference

Shopping
Please think carefully before buying anything, some of my products are hand made and occasionally it takes a little while to restock
I am always happy to refund if this happens but do try to communicate well by email if you have not received goods quite as quickly as I would like it does not happen often but it does happen
However if you buy a bit from me on line and then decide to send it back there will be a restocking fee of £10
