WELCOME TO HORSE BIT HIRE

Horse Bit Hire's website is packed full of specialist quality bitting advice to help you choose the correct bit for your horse. 

Have a read of the info below, check out the products in each section (each one has its own bitting advice to help you make an informed choce), view the News Blog for forthcoming events and feel free to submit a testimonial.

BITTING ADVICE

Horse Bit Hire brings together the best bits across all of the wide ranges available to give the best possible choice for you and your horse.

I offer advice by telephone and email so please contact me with any queries that you have or any bitting issues that you are currently trying to resolve.  Why not try our Ring Back service where you can leave me details and I will call you back within a two hour time frame to discuss your requirements.

The hire service gives you the option to try the bit and see how you get on, safe in the knowledge that if it isn’t quite right, you can send it back and you haven’t had to add yet another bit to your collection of unsuitable bits. However, most customers do find that with some bitting advice, we normally get it right first time.

Working alongside Heather Hyde firstly as part of the original bit bank and then helping to build Neue Schule for over 5 years, I have broadened my bitting knowledge extensively.  I am also still part of their Design Team which is an aspect of the work I thoroughly enjoy.  As I sell brands other than Neue Schule, I am an Accredited Retailer for Myler (apparently there are only 25 Myler approved bitting specialists in the country of which I am one!) and attended a course with Dale Myler to rebuild on this knowledge in March 2010 - he is back over in October so I will hopefully be going agan.

HIRING

All bits featured on the site are available for hire as well as sale.  You can choose at point of order whether you wish to buy or hire the bit.  For further information, please see the store policies.  Occassionally, we have used bits in stock that are offered for sale at a reduced price - please contact me if you are looking for something in particular.

ABOUT MY HORSES

I have three horses; Sixty my 20 year old Irish Draught TB cross, Woody my 12 year old TB ex-racer and Daisy my 7 year old Hanoverian. They all have different mouth conformations and use different bits depending on the work they are doing. They will regularly feature on the site with news of what we are up to.

HBH HORSES NEWS

Summer is here!!  Woody continues to look beautiful and is now back in regular work.  He has calmed down again recently and is now back in his NS Team Up (9009) - one of my favourites.  It helps  tremendously with his outline and previously he would sometime struggles to bend to the left and would also shorten his neck - this bit helps to counteract all of that and he works into a lovely contact.

Daisy is making good progress with her basic traning.  She is back in her NS Starter bit (9008 16mm) for the long lines but as I am only riding her in the school, she is being ridden in her Monty Roberts Dually which I ground trained her in.  She has some wolf teeth making an appearance so I decided not to ride using her mouth until these are removed in the next few weeks.  She is proving to be a joy to train and seems to love her work which is great.

Sixty was very briefly brought back in to work and then quickly sidelined with lamintis!  Thanks to lots of help and support from family, friends and the vet he is making good progress.  He is back out during the day with his grazing muzzle on - we both hate it but needs must.  When his hooves feel a little better he will be working again and will be back in his Neue Schule Team Up (9012) 12mm as he has an enormous tongue.
