We will be hosting Tara Graham, “The Equine Bit Fitter” on July 26th and 28th. We have 3 spots available for bit/bridle fittings. Tara will spend between 1-2 hours analyzing your horse's oral anatomy and trying different bits for them to go in.

Auditors are welcome to join for her hour-long presentation for $20 which offers tips for those not having a horse fitted. She will debunk a few myths and the Q&A usually leads to valuable discussions. The presentation is heavily anatomy-based, but not too ‘serious’!

Presentation and start times have not been scheduled yet so stay posted. For more information on Tara, including her pricing, you can visit her website https://equinebitfitter.com/
Email us at [email protected] or text 917-547-0519 to secure an appointment.
