I’ve finally been back on the road in the last few days, hosting a very productive clinic for some special horses and riders at the Zone 15 Pony Club Camp at Capella!

I met some great, likeminded people and caught up with some familiar faces and of course, got my horse fix!!🤩

Sorry I couldn’t stay longer and fit more appointments in but I’ll be back either later this year or early next year! Keep an on the Central Highlands Equestrian Group page for more details.

Quick shout out to Gesson for all her organising effort.

WELCOME to A BIT UNIQUE!!🦄
Please allow me to introduce myself, for those who don't know me that well. My name is Clare Figueiredo and I'm a BBA accredited bit fitter and EA dressage coach (BHSAI) with 40 yrs of experience in the horse industry.

I'm available to do individual or group bitfitting consultations (based in Eumundi, Queensland) and to travel around Queensland for bitfitting clinics of 2/3 days. I'm also keen to do educational seminars about bit fitting because there is so much to learn.

Each horse's mouth is as unique as a fingerprint and their pressure preferences also vary immensely. So you owe it to your horse to have his mouth professionally assessed and fitted with the bit/s that offer the most comfort for him and the best feeling for you!!🌸🌸🦄🦄

I currently have all the leading bit brands and models (Sprenger, NS, Fager, Bombers etc) available for trial and believe that it’s always the horse and rider’s choice that matters most.

I have a specialist interest in fitting bits for dressage, particularly double bridles but I’m equally happy fitting for showjumping, polocrosse or Pony Club.

Feel free to send me a message and complete the first page of A Bit Unique booking form (Find it in Links 🔗 above). Return it to [email protected] and I’ll organise an appointment for you asap!✅

Did you know.....The Tongue 👅 is the most sensitive part of your horse's mouth and the most prone to injury.

This very large muscle extends from its tip, which you can see, to the hyoid apparatus and its attachment to the ramus of the mandible at the back.

The tongue is vital for swallowing and influencing the hyoid apparatus

Like any other muscle, restriction or tension within it can induce a muscular chain reaction.

The sensitivity of the tongue is a crucial consideration when fitting a bit. An ill-fitting or harsh bit or excessive pressure on the bit from your hands can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases it can result in tension throughout the body and poor performance.

Like and follow our page for lots more tips, exercises and advice on equine anatomy and biomechanics.

Firstly I have to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me in recent weeks. So many of you have shown up for me and continue to do so…I’m truly grateful!!🫶

But I do have to ask my SE Qld clients to please be patient with me as my return will be delayed due to numerous tasks that must be completed after a bereavement.

I hope to be able to make a limited number of trips in August but might not be back to normality, from a work perspective,until September.

Of course, I totally understand if you can’t wait that long and need to employ the services of another bitfitter…otherwise I look forward to catching up with you soon.🩵🦄💜

To my wonderful friends and clients of A Bit Unique I will be temporarily unavailable for at least the next few weeks.

Without going into too much detail my Mum is extremely ill and is unlikely to be with us much longer.

Please allow me to take these precious moments with her in the coming days/weeks without too many distractions and I’ll be back at it as soon as I can.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Members, riders - should we run these big combined clinics? ⁉️
Our Winter Wellness clinic is open and we need lots more entries to make it worth running for our clinicians... 😯

We have received special prices for many of the sessions 😍

Another great chance to ride at the QSEC grounds prior to some big upcoming competitions 🏆
