🌟 January 2026 Availability – Bit & Bridle Fitting 🌟

Please read before messaging!

Thanks so much for your patience while I finalised my January 2026 schedule! I’m truly grateful for all the requests from clients. As I balance two jobs and a busy personal life, I’m being mindful with my time to avoid burnout.

📅 Available Dates (First Come, First Served):

🔹 10th January – 2 Spaces booked Cwmbran-Aberdare areas. LIMITED AVAILABILITY LEFT

🔹 25th January – FULLY BOOKED

If any further date opportunities become available, I'll post these in due course. For now, this is what I am able to offer in advance.

If you miss out on a slot this time, I’ll add you to my waitlist for cancellations.

🦠 Biosecurity Reminder:
Due to ongoing concerns around Strangles, I’ll be coordinating bookings carefully. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

💷 Booking Info:
A £20 deposit per horse is required at the time of booking to secure your slot. This will go toward your total consultation cost.

❌️ Cancellations:
• 24+ hrs notice = full refund
• Less than 24 hrs = no refund (to cover my time)

✅ Pre-Booking Requirements (within the last 6 months):
• Dental check

If these haven’t been completed, we’ll need to reschedule until they are.

➡️ On the day, please ensure we have access to:
- A safe, secure stable for checks

- Suitable lighting for both areas, Due to the limited light!

📩 To Book:

📣 Strangles Alert – South Wales

Hi everyone,

Due to recent info regarding potential cases of Strangles cases in South Wales, I’m taking extra precautions to protect your horses and mine during consultations.

🗓 Before visits, I’ll contact clients to confirm appointments and check for any symptoms on the yard. If symptoms are present, we’ll reschedule when appropriate, once no further symptoms are present at the location.

🚗 I’m limiting myself to one yard per day and following (additional) strict biosecurity protocols—including disinfecting equipment and myself between horses, in addition to my car at the end of each day.

⚠️ If symptoms are spotted with any horses at the yard during a visit, my policy is to stop the appointment, notify the yard/horse owner, disinfect, and leave. We’ll rebook once the yard is symptom-free. I appreciate this is not an ideal situation but I need to ensure that all parties are safe and contact risk is minimised.

🤝in addition, I’m happy to share updates with other equine professionals—staying informed helps us all stay safe. No gossip or slander - only if I'm 100% comfortable to report a know location.

Having experienced Strangles years ago at a previous yard, I know how serious it can be. I’d rather be cautious than take risks, for our horses' sake!

Thanks all for your understanding. Feel free to reach out in confidence with any questions or concerns. 😊

Take care,
Alex

Hey everyone – it’s been a while! 👋

I’ve been enjoying a lovely break, but as we head into the final stretch of the year, I wanted to check in with a few updates.

✨ Back to work soon – but fully booked!

I’ll be returning to work with all pre-booked clients from October to December 2025. Just to clarify; I’m currently fully booked for the remainder of this year, and barring any cancellations, I won’t be taking on any new appointments during that time. If you’re already in the diary, I’ll be in touch soon to confirm your slot.

📆 Cancellation list

I do have a waiting list for any last-minute cancellations. If a space opens up, I’ll offer it to those already on the list – first come, first served. Any other last-minute availability I can’t fill will be posted here on the page.

📅 2026 bookings

I’ve had lots of messages asking about next year – thank you! The diary for January 2026 will open once I’m back next month. I’ll post availability here, and it’ll be first come, first served. Please note: I’ve got limited space and can’t hold dates without confirmed booking and payment. More info coming soon!

🐴 Hope you’ve all had an amazing summer with your horses – I’ve loved my time off and I’m feeling refreshed and excited to get back to it!
