Find the 'Perfect Fit' Bitless Bridle
THE BITLESS BOUTIQUE ARE LEADING SPECIALISTS IN BITLESS BRIDLE FIT, DESIGN & TRAINING
The Benefits of Good Bridle Fit
We know that a well fitting bridle offers the horse optimum comfort, allowing the rider to develop a gentle communication down the reins. On the other hand, a badly fitted bridle can be a lead to negative pressures around the head causing discomfort and even pain, and may result in long term damage and behaviour issues.
Here at the Bitless Boutique it's our mission to find you the correct bitless action, ensure that the design fits your horse's individual anatomy & overall, suits the intended purpose & level of training.
To do this. we offer virtual and in-person 1:1 consultations to guide owners through our bridle fit process and offer a bride trial & aftercare for an affordable investment.
Additionally we are developing a network of partnered professionals to offer a high standard of training for you and your horse, to further develop communication with the bitless bridle.

Phillippa was incredibly helpful in giving me advice about choosing my first bitless bridle. I am almost certain i would have chosen the wrong one had it not been for her excellent advice.

Phillippa's knowledge and understanding of the anatomy of the horse is so very valuable to any horse owner. On top of this, her understanding of so many varieties of bitless bridle, their action and why they would work for particular horses is a breath of fresh air in the equine world.

Phillippa's knowledge of bitless bridles is immense. I met her when I hosted her bitless 101 clinic. It was a hugely informative day and a book that I have had to laminate because I use it so much!

Excellent clinic. Great balance of anatomy, bitless design and fitting. Phillipa has an excellent teaching style and her work is very well researched.
Clinic Participant Read More
I learnt so much about the anatomy and physiology of the face and the affects of different bits and bitless. The practical training was great seeing what pressure points the horse liked or didn’t. Allowing the horse to choose best bitless to suit their preferences as opposed to solely ours. It changed that perspective.

What a great workshop! Learnt so much, especially the live demo and working with the horses, an excellent opportunity to fully understand what bitless does and doesn't do for your horse, would strongly recommend!
