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

Owned and ran by me, Gail Johnson, 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.  My sister-in-law Diane Johnson is the office manager - she runs the office and also helps out when we are on the road.

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.  You can also try Ring Back service: text, voicemail or email details of a suitable time to call you.

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 6 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.

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.

ORDERING: ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE

You can order whichever way is easiest for you.  If you order online, you will need to register as a new customer.  Each time you log in, you can access details of previous purchases and this also helps you to stay informed as to any special offers and new items that we may have.  Ordering is completely secure and payments are made via Paypal.

If you prefer to order over the phone, simply call me, Gail, on 07789 587 302 - if I am unable to answer please leave a message and I will call you back just as soon as I can.  Postal Address: Horse Bit Hire, The Old Stables, Nunthorpe Village, Middlesbrough, TS7 0NR.

BIT FITTING & RIDING CONSULTATIONS AT YOUR YARD

I am in Middlesbrough in the north east and I can travel to meet you and your horse to provide an on site consultation. Costings vary based on travelling distance and it is often good to arrange with a few friends.  Please contact me for further details. 

SPECIAL ORDERS

Not all of our stock is featured on the website so please contact me to discuss your individual requirements if what you need does not seem to be here.

ABOUT MY HORSES

I have four horses; Sixty my 21 year old Irish Draught TB cross, Woody my 13 year old TB ex-racer, Daisy my 7 year old Hanoverian and Star my 9 year old ex-racing mare. They all have different mouth conformations (Star is the only one who is apparently perfect!) 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

Winter is here!  It is quite cold at the moment here at Horse Bit Hire up in the North East.  All of the horses are well, apart from Woody who has started his winter performance of losing a shoe on a rather frequent basis!  Hopefully we will manage to get through this episode without any major lameness.  The new outdoor school has been, as I thought, an added bonus and is meaning that we can keep the horses in work even though the fields and roads are not in the correct condition for work.

Hopefully there will be some exciting changes at HBH over the coming months - watch this space....

Thank you for visiting Horse Bit Hire, if you have any comments, please contact me.
