Consultation · By FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom
Independent, specialist advice
wherever you and your horse are based
Are you confused by conflicting advice about your horse’s bit? Perhaps something does not feel quite right, but you are unsure what needs changing—or whether the bit is really the problem at all.
My Remote Bitting Consultation gives you calm, independent and experienced advice from the comfort of your own yard, wherever you are.
There is no pressure, no judgement and no need to feel that you should already know the answers. Together, we will make the process interesting, enjoyable and easy to understand—while always taking your horse’s comfort and wellbeing seriously.

Who it’s for
Step by step
From booking to your call with Gill
Payment is made through a straightforward checkout, with no subscription or ongoing commitment.
Before our appointment, I will show you how to look more closely at your horse’s head, mouth, facial conformation, bit and bridle—and explain what I would like you to notice.
You will complete a short consultation form covering your horse’s current bit and bridle, any concerns you have and what you would like help with.
Ideally, I would like to see your horse in walk, trot and canter on both reins, where appropriate. However, if you are not yet at the cantering stage or do not feel comfortable cantering, please don’t worry—I can generally learn a great deal from seeing your horse in walk and trot.
Your videos can be sent by WhatsApp or email, allowing me to study your horse before we speak and make the best use of our time together.
We will connect by FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom video. If you have your horse with you, I can guide you through some additional checks and explain what I am seeing in clear, everyday language.
Alternatively, you may prefer to talk everything through without your horse listening in—that is absolutely fine too!
You know your horse better than anyone. You know what is normal for them, what has changed and how they feel to ride. I bring more than 30 years of practical bitting knowledge and experience. By combining the two, we can build a much clearer picture.
“You need this bit.” “My horse goes brilliantly in that.” “You should be doing this…”
Well-meaning opinions can quickly become confusing. This is your opportunity to take a breath, ask every question you want and receive completely independent advice based on your horse.
The bit is only one piece of the puzzle. We will consider its size, shape and action alongside your horse’s mouth, facial conformation, bridle fit, comfort, behaviour and way of going. If I believe something else needs investigating, I will tell you honestly.
You will receive practical guidance for your individual horse-and-rider partnership—not a fashionable answer, a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution.
My responsibility is first and foremost to your horse: helping them feel more comfortable while encouraging clearer communication, greater understanding and a more confident partnership between you.
Once you have made any agreed changes and had time to see how your horse responds, we will speak again by appointment. We can discuss what has improved, answer any new questions and decide whether anything needs adjusting.
Your specialist · Gill Batt
The aim is not simply to control a behaviour. It is to understand why it may be happening and find a kinder, more comfortable way for you and your horse to communicate.
Book your remote bitting consultation
This is much more than being told which bit to buy. It is dedicated time to understand your horse more clearly, make informed decisions and feel confident that you are doing what is right for them.
Let’s take away the guesswork and discover what your horse may be trying to tell you.
After payment you’ll receive a form to tell Gill about your horse.
