I received my bit and I am thrilled with it!! It is for
my mare, who has competed through Prix St. George but has been very hard to
find a bit for. She has sharp bars, and despite every effort on my part, she
has often had small bruises on the edges of her tongue. I ride many horses and she is the only one this has happened to. I have been at
a loss for what to change and how to make her comfortable. I was looking for a
fairly thick bit that would be very stable in the mouth. The (BALANCE) Fulmer fits the
bill and is working beautifully. It is really well designed and nicely made.

"The BALANCE lunge cavesson has worked wonders for my stressed, rushy, motorbike horse. Lunging used to closely resemble the wall of death! It has changed her attitude towards her work and has relaxed, strengthened and straightened her no end."

"BALANCE, the time you continue to take for me, I am so touched. Thank you. The care and love you have for me, our horses, and horses around the world is astounding. It takes time to write thoughtful, caring, informative communications. And, it is always just the right thing."

I can’t tell you how much I love my Zenith!!! I went through 10 saddles in 6 years for my horse before I got my Zenith. Two were “custom” made for him. What a joke. I am on my 5th year with my Zenith and it is still perfect!!! I cringe now when I see these very deep Dressage saddles with the huge thigh blocks. People ask me how I can ride in my Zenith with no thigh blocks and no deep seat. I say well now my horse is balanced and I don’t have to depend on the saddle to hold me. ☺️
