Welcome to Expert Bits!
Hi everyone, we’re Lisa and Matt, and we’re so excited to finally share the first Expert Bits Blog with you!
If you already know us, you’ll know that horses are at the centre of our lives — and like most riders, we’ve always wanted the very best for them. Over the years, we’ve both felt how confusing and overwhelming the world of bitting can be. There are so many options, so many different opinions, and not always much clear, simple advice. That’s really where the idea for Expert Bits began.
We wanted to create a brand that takes away the confusion and focuses on what really matters: comfort, clarity, and confidence. Our bits are designed with the horse first, but also with the rider in mind. A comfortable horse is a happier horse, and when your horse feels good in their mouth, everything else just flows better.
Why we’re different
For us, Expert Bits isn’t just about selling bits. It’s about helping people understand why something works, and giving you the tools to make the best choices for your horse. We’re passionate about education, about sharing knowledge, and about making sure every rider feels supported — whether you’re just starting out or competing at the very top.
Every bit we create combines thoughtful engineering with modern designs at affordable prices. We believe that comfort and quality shouldn’t come with a huge price tag — and that every rider deserves access to equipment that truly works for their horse.
What you can expect from us
This blog is going to be our little corner where we share everything from practical tips and advice, to behind-the-scenes stories and updates from the riders we work with. You’ll meet the horses, hear about our testing process, and get to know why certain designs came to life. We’ll also be covering lots of the questions riders often have — like which cheekpiece might suit best, or how a horse’s mouth conformation can influence bit choice.
A big thank you
We can’t say enough how grateful we are to the riders, friends, and supporters who’ve already been part of this journey. Expert Bits is something we’ve poured a lot of heart into.So whether you’re here because you’re curious about bits, you’re looking for advice, or you just love hearing about horses as much as we do — welcome!
Here’s to comfortable horses, happy riders, and making bitting that little bit easier for everyone.
Lisa & Matt ✨
