This website is the work of Hilary Vernon who has over the last 16 years worked as a full time Bitting Clinician travelling over the U.K and parts of Europe lecturing and demonstrating the art of Bits and Bitting 
Hilary has spent 32 years in the Saddlery Trade having started the original Bit Bank and began designing bits for TBB; she is also a qualified Riding Instructor, a Saddle fitter, an equestrian author and a keen Rider and Carriage Driver.​
A Horse is just a natural creature
it is never going to respond well to being bundled into restrictive equipment

​Hilary  has her own Informed Designs bitting range and carries other selected bit ranges that she has tried and tested over the years or has had a design input into such as Rotary Happy Mouth Myler and Bomber 

Time patience and repetition are the best training methods

But we also carry

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 
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 


Communication:
