The Art (and Science) of Bitting
Does my bit fit? That’s a question we get asked a lot. Did you know that Scotia Saddlery’s Emily Lazar-Acker is also trained as a Lornier?
What is a Lornier, you ask? Traditionally, a Lornier makes and sells bits, bridles, spurs, stirrups and the minor metal items of a horse’s harness, together with the saddle tree. The word Loriner is derived from the Latin Lorum, a thong, bridle or reins, and seems to have entered the English language, from the French, as Lorimer.
Join Emily for this in-person event, with a virtual option to zoom in, for a deep dive into the art and science of bits: why we use them for what purposes, what they are made of and how they operate to communicate with the anatomy of a horse’s tongue, mouth, and teeth
This is an in-person and virtual event.
