So very excited! Before I signed up to the course I had already booked in a fitter, who is attending from a couple of hours away. Our state is lacking in fitters. I met Jai yesterday- one of the fitters from the very first accreditation held- and asked her if she would be willing to have me contact her with questions, shadow her etc. I was scared to ask because I didn’t want to step on toes, and not knowing her I was worried she would think I’m ‘competing’ with her in the market. She was amazing! Was excited was doing the course, said yes to helping and shadowing. What a legend!!!

Best contact
I am wanting to speak to someone who is in charge of courses/accreditation etc, with some questions and invoicing solutions. Do I just call the generic number (+61872820760) or is there someone specific I should be contacting? Do I just message Charmae on here? Thanks in advance!

Bit collection for fit sessions
Hey guys! Regarding the case studies- do we need a sizable collection of bits to begin or are we just saying what we would recommend? I have a small collection but mainly snaffles/eggbutts so now looking at what I'd need to keep on hand when performing bit fitting sessions & case studies. Is there a list or general consensus of supplies & the range of bits we'd need in our "bit kit"?

Western Bits
Hey! I am a rodeo competitor and would like to make that a focus of my eventual services. This certificate is wonderful and informative but I was wondering if there is any articles or blogs you'd recommend for the more western style bits eg, chain mouthpieces, twisted snaffles, locked snaffles, ect?

The same mechanics apply regardless of discipline - for example chain bits = Waterford action, twisted bits work on abrasion and tongue stimulation in the mouth, locked snaffles = less nutcracker action like the bombers lock up :) I have my own opinions on chain bits and twisted bits - especially square twisted or twisted wire bits. I believe there are much much better choices out there, it’s just some old school habitual choices and thinking. It is not something I will ever stock or recommend.

@Cheyenne Prior interesting! It totally depends on where the cheek pieces and reins are put on that cheek piece as to what mechanics it will use in the mouth. There are lots of different Setup options.
