In late 2012, I was asked to do some research into bits. After a couple of months worth of research, I concluded that all those x-rays were very interesting. However, a picture taken while a horse was standing still and often sedated would never show an image that would reflect reality. After all, a bit is used for riding: so while the horse is in motion! As a result, I quickly began to put theory into practice by literally switching things up: I changed bits to see the effect. To my amazement, the difference was quite noticeable. I also noticed was that the description added by the manufacturer of the bit was not correct. This was my incentive – I developed my biomechanical view of horses and a unique approach to this field. I think it is important to measure precisely what type of pressure distribution each horse requires to achieve that correct level of self-carriage and engagement. This can only be really properly assessed when you look at the movement of a horse.
