We receive some fabulous feedback from clients and especially love hearing about the positive changes in their horses.  Here are just a few we have heard from since we opened...

"From the breakers to the Advanced horses and even the FEI dressage horses - there is a Neue Schule combination to suit them all. Every horse in our yard works daily in their NS bits and as a result we have happy, submissive horses in both the dressage and jumping arenas and out on the cross country course. For ANY of your bitting needs, contact Anita at Bit Bank Australia - she has all the experience and a huge variety of bits at hand to help you with your bitting requirements for all disciplines." 
Sophie Warren, 3* Eventer and YR Team Member.

"Just wanted to say the bit arrived today.  What can I say, fantastic!!!!  I believe it's the best he has ever gone in the double.  He didn't resist it once today and it was blowing a gale so he had every excuse.  From what I can feel and what I could see it was the quietest, stillest and the most closed (99% of the time) his mouth has ever been.  It's early days yet but I am feeling very confident so far that this bit willactually work for him, and I might finally be able to get him out at Advanced then Prix St George as soon as I have the two qualifying scores.
I would absolutely recommend the NS Warmblood Weymouth to anyone that has a horse with a particularly fleshy tongue and/ or an overactive mouth.  My only regret is that I didn't try it sooner.  3 years and about 8 combinations of doubles, I have hopefully found one that will work!"

"Thank you very much for Karisma's Pee Wee Bit,
I have experienced a major change in my horse and the second time I asked her today to open her mouth she did happily and chewed the bit in a relaxed fashion! I was amazed and she was waiting for me to ride and work her!
Instead of sneaking off at the first opportunity. She holds her own head and hasn't tossed her head once or grind her mouth/teeth.  I know it is early days yet as we haven't cantered in it yet, I see no reason for any thing to change so remain hopeful that we are on the right track.
I'm a Very happy customer and We both thank you for your valuable advice"

"Thanks Anita for sending my new PeeWee, I thought you would know best on the sizing.  I will look forward to trying it on Monty and I want to thankyou for all your help and your wonderful articles in "Hoofbeats" which has opened my mind and from which I have learnt so much.  I'm sure there will be many others who feel the same."
Lorraine, (p.s: 61 years around horses and I am still learning sooo much!)

"I have just read Anita Marchesani's article in Hoofbeats this month about bitting.  What a great article!!  Can't wait to read the next edition- about time bits are focused on and their actual functions.  A very worthwhile read for every horse owner I thought."
Sophie Ivory.


"I had my first lesson in four months yesterday and use the bit (NS Universal) for the first time.  Started on the top ring with no chin strap for our dressage/warm up.  When it came to the jumping half we didn't need to alter it at all.  She went fantastic.
The half halts in a short three stride combination were much better and she did some amazing tight turns onto a spread just beautifully.  I haven't jumped her like that since October, so I must give some credit to the bit.  So, yes, very happy with the bit and will definitely be keeping it.  Best part is I have lots left up my sleeve for when she moves up the ranks and gets a bit keen!"
Leanne Haywood.


"I think he likes his new bit!  I don't think he could believe what I put in his mouth to begin with.  He was playing with the lozenge and rolling it on his tongue.  There wasn't as much grimacing and he didn;t tuck his head to his chest like he usually does when I first get on.  He was lovely to ride and seemd to be quite comfortable with it and happy to stretch into it."
Steph Graham

"Anita was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble.  She offered to send me a device to measure my horse's mouths exactly so I can try some new bits.  (How innovative to have a system where you can try bits for 30 days) and in general was just a pleasure to deal with."
Lucy Bennett.

"Thank you for your help the other day. I'm just letting you know that I can't believe the difference this bit (NS Verbindend) has made to my gelding. He has gone from resenting anything I have asked to carrying himself and becoming so incredibly soft and giving me such control over his head, shoulders, ribs and hind and doing it all happily and willingly. I have been raving about your bit to anyone that will listen and I know my sister is planning on having a chat to you for a bit to suit her massive warmblood jumper who can get a bit strong and I know I'll be certainly coming back for another once my youngster is up and coming.
Thanks again, I know it's not all the bit but I never knew a good bit could make such a difference,I thought they just got harsher."
