What should you look for while choosing your bit and bridle?
We have a useful guide from the BETA member Equizax .

1. Correct Adjustment is Key
Proper adjustment is crucial for effective communication and control:
Noseband Placement: Position the noseband two fingers below the cheekbone to avoid impeding the sensitive facial nerves.
Bit Position: Ensure the bit rests comfortably in the interdental space (bars of the mouth) without excessive tension. The bit should not contact the horse’s teeth or pinch the lips.

2. Leather Care for Longevity:
Leather, require regular maintenance:
Cleaning: Use a pH-balanced leather cleaner to remove dirt and sweat. Follow with a high-quality conditioner to maintain elasticity.
Storage: Store the bridle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.

3. Inspect the Bit
The bit’s condition directly affects the horse’s comfort:
Check Edges: Regularly inspect the bit for sharp edges or corrosion. Even minor imperfections can cause discomfort or injury.
Appropriate Selection: Choose a bit that suits your horse’s mouth conformation and training needs. Consult with an equine dentist and a professional fitter.

4. Reins and Buckles Maintenance
Reins and buckles are subjected to significant strain and must be regularly checked:
Rein Inspection: Look for any signs of wear, particularly at the attachment points. Replace reins that show fraying or stretching.
Buckle Integrity: Ensure all buckles and fittings are secure and free from rust or damage. Regularly check stitching for any signs of weakening

Today we have some great tips from BETA member Equizax a manufacturer of Butterfly Freedom Girth.

Choose a girth which is designed to accommodate the natural contours of the horse’s chest, dispersing pressure evenly across the pectoral muscles and sternum. Ensure the girth sits snugly but comfortably:
• Positioning: Place the girth so it rests evenly along the horse’s barrel, ensuring that the central panel aligns with the sternum to distribute pressure effectively.
• Sizing: Measure your horse accurately and select the correct girth length. An ill-fitting girth can cause discomfort and impede movement.
Routine Buckle and Strap Inspection: Examine the stainless-steel buckles and high-tensile straps for wear and tear. Look for frayed stitching or any signs of stress.
Maintain Padding Quality
• Cleaning: Regularly clean the padding with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the material.
• Inspection: Check for wear in the padding, especially along the edges.

Replace any padding that shows signs of excessive wear to maintain comfort.
Final Check: Before riding, perform a final check to ensure the girth is firmly in place without excessive movement or slippage.

DO YOU HANDLE YOUR HORSE WITH COMPASSION?

How we handle and train our horses is extremely important, not just for our horse's welfare but also for the effect that it has on our relationship and our safety.

Training is essential, it is not a luxury or something to do at the weekend. Horses need to know how to behave around people and be as prepared as they can be for every situation they will encounter in their day to day life.

How we train our horses will understandably have a lasting impact on how they feel about us. If you use force or bully your horse to do what you ask they will associate you with the fear or discomfort they feel at the time. This is when relationships start to break down and problem behaviours begin, and the horse may start to say no. No, they don't want to be caught, no they don't want to be ridden, no they don't want to interact with you. And why should they?

Create a good relationship with your horse by learning to read their body language, recognising when they are stressed and not pushing them too far. Ensure they aren't fearful or incapable of performing what you are asking, provide calm equine company, use positive training methods that reward your horse when he does the right thing, break training down into achievable steps, stay calm and your horse will learn to trust you.

Compassionate handling leads to better welfare and safer horses as well as faster results for horse owners.

Brooke, Action For Working Horses and Donkeys have produced a brilliant evidence-based factsheet with information about why good handling matters. Plus, there are some useful tips for you to handle your horse more compassionately.

The Expert in creating Premium Bridles gives great tips to our Most Valued Customers.

Keeping a bridle noseband loose can be beneficial for the horse's comfort and performance. Here are some tips on how to properly manage this:

1. **Check Fit Regularly**: Ensure the noseband is not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the noseband and the nasal bone.

2. **Proper Adjustment**: Position the noseband so it sits about one to two fingers below the horse's cheekbones to avoid pinching.

3. **Use a Padded Noseband**: Opt for a padded noseband to distribute pressure more evenly and enhance comfort.

4. **Observe Your Horse**: Watch for signs of discomfort or resistance, such as head shaking or mouth opening, which could indicate the noseband is too tight.

5. **Balance with the Bit**: Ensure the bit is correctly fitted and balanced with the noseband. An overly tight noseband can interfere with the bit's action.

6. **Consider Alternative Nosebands**: If your horse is sensitive, try different styles of nosebands, such as a drop, figure-eight, or micklem, which may offer better comfort.

7. **Consult with a Professional**: Seek advice from a trainer or equine dentist to ensure the bridle and noseband are fitted correctly and do not cause harm to the horse.

Regularly checking and adjusting the noseband can improve your horse's comfort and performance while riding.

Correct noseband fitting is essential for the comfort, performance, and welfare of your horse. Here are some key resources and guidelines on fitting various types of nosebands:

1. **British Horse Society (BHS)**: The BHS provides comprehensive advice on ensuring proper bridle and noseband fit. A noseband should allow at least two adult fingers or an ISES gauge to fit between the noseband and the nasal bone. Over-tightening can cause discomfort and impede breathing [[❞]](https://www.bhs.org.uk/go-riding/stable-mates/tack-fit/) [[❞]](https://www.bhs.org.uk/horse-care-and-welfare/features/bridle-fit/).

2. **Houghton Country**: Their guide details how different nosebands, like cavesson and flash nosebands, should be fitted. For a cavesson, ensure there is a two-finger width gap below the cheekbone and between the noseband and the nasal bone to avoid undue pressure [[❞]](https://www.houghtoncountry.co.uk/noseband-guide-choosing-the-right-noseband-for-your-horse-i143).

3. **Horse & Hound**: They emphasize the importance of considering the entire bridle fit, not just the noseband. Proper fit helps avoid pressure points and ensures better performance and comfort for the horse [[❞]](https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/not-just-bits-and-nosebands-why-bridle-fit-is-so-important-791459).

4. **Equestriguide**: This guide covers the correct fitting of various nosebands, including the flash and Grackle nosebands. The Grackle, for instance, should be snug but not tight, preventing the horse from opening its mouth without obstructing breathing [[❞]](https://equestriguide.com/comprehensive-guide-to-nosebands/).

Please feel free to ask us questions in the comment section of this post regarding anything that you need in taking care of your tack (be it about its leather , fixings, texture, customisation etc ) A picture would be great and we will advice you to the best of our Expertise💥

🐎Taking care of your leather tack during high heat temperatures is crucial to maintain its durability and performance. Here are some tips, inspired by guidelines from Equizax quizax for keeping your leather tack in top condition during hot weather:

1. **Clean Regularly:** Sweat and dust can cause leather to deteriorate faster in hot weather. Wipe down your tack with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat, dirt, and grime.

2. **Condition Often:** Heat can dry out leather, causing it to crack and weaken. Use a quality leather conditioner more frequently in hot weather to keep the leather supple and moisturized.

3. **Store Properly:** Keep your tack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing leather in humid areas, as this can lead to mold and mildew growth. A climate-controlled tack room is ideal.

4. **Avoid Over-Washing:** While it’s important to keep your tack clean, over-washing can strip the leather of its natural oils. Clean gently and only as needed.

5. **Use a Cover:** When not in use, cover your tack with a breathable, protective cover. This can help shield it from dust, sunlight, and excessive heat.

6. **Check Hardware:** Heat can cause metal parts to expand and contract, which may loosen screws and rivets. Regularly check and tighten all hardware on your tack.

7. **Rotate Use:** If you have multiple sets of tack, rotate their use to reduce the amount of wear on any single set. This can help extend the life of each piece.

8. **Avoid Plastic Bags:** Do not store leather tack in plastic bags or containers, as these can trap moisture and lead to mildew.

9. **Use Leather-Safe Products:** Ensure that any cleaning and conditioning products you use are specifically designed for leather. Avoid using products with harsh chemicals that can damage the leather.

10. **Monitor for Damage:** Regularly inspect your tack for any signs of cracking, dryness, or mold. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

By following these tips, you can help ensure your leather tack remains in good condition, even during the hottest summer days in the UK.
