Join us April 17–18 at the National Equestrian Center in Lake St. Louis, MO for a two-day educational clinic focused on one of the most important — and often overlooked — aspects of riding: proper bit and bridle fit.A horse communicates constantly through the bridle. When equipment fits correctly, that conversation becomes clearer, quieter, and more effective for both horse and rider.
This clinic will feature LANTRA-certified bit and bridle fitter Stephanie Brown-Beamer, who will be conducting live fittings and sharing her expertise on how proper fit influences comfort, responsiveness, and performance.
