Ruth completely transformed my mare’s way of going. I’d been struggling for months with head tossing and resistance, and within one session she pinpointed exactly what was causing the discomfort. The new bit she fitted has made a huge difference—my horse is softer, more relaxed, and far happier in her work. I can’t recommend her enough.

I booked Ruth for a full bridle fitting after noticing my gelding was becoming fussy in the contact. Ruth was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything clearly so I understood what she was adjusting and why. The improvement was immediate. He’s now working into the bridle with confidence and no more evading the bit. Absolutely brilliant service.

My youngster can be a bit sharp, and I was worried about finding the right bit as he starts proper schooling. Ruth was so patient and calm with him. She tried several options until we found a setup that kept him comfortable and focused. He has come on in leaps and bounds since the fitting. I’ll be booking Ruth again as he develops.
