How you treat your Horse is more important than what you do with him ​
Hilary is based in Oxfordshire
but also covers either all of or part of Gloucestershire Wiltshire Warwickshire Shropshire Cheshire Derbyshire Lincolnshire Essex Cambridgeshire Suffolk Surrey South Wales. Please ask me if you are out of these areas as I do travel a lot or may have a trained Consultant in your area. 
Hilary is a BHSAI and as a qualified Riding Instructor is happy to help with discussions on riders position and rein handling in the course of a Bitting Consultation if helpful on the day. 
Hilary has previously done a lot of Saddle Fitting having attended the SMS Introductory Saddle Fitting Course and then a structured course run by qualified SMS Trainers and passed a certificated exam run along side that course 
Hilary ran a series of tack shops for many years training with and assisting an on site Master Saddle Maker on a daily basis and has always Bridle Fitted and Saddle fitted and Saddle checked as part of looking into the Horses whole picture
