1. Case Studies and how to present them. I don't have a set way id like this done really. I actually quite like leaving it open so that it gives me a really clear indication of how you like to operate ‘in the field’. There is NO pass or fail, only feedback. As long as the case study clearly demonstrates your learning and understanding of the fitting and the products - thats all I need. They don't need to be pages long, and pics/videos are always SUPER helpful. When delivering the case study, if its easier for you I do like to take the STAR approach: (which most of you have anyway) S - Situation - What is the situation, what are the detail that we need to know? T - Task - What are you there to do - what issues specifically are you addressing? A - Action - What action did you take, what did you try, what worked what didn’t etc? R - Result - What was the end result and outcomes? - This doesn’t always have to be positive - sometimes its really important to know when a horse has more going on or they are beyond our level of expertise. You can send me the case studies by email, messenger, or google drive is my preferred method so its easy for me to find and access. I need 14 of them.
Cranial Nerve Identification
I am finding it challenging to confidently identify the cranial nerves in live horses, across different breeds and head shapes. The course material currently provides some detail in this area, and I’m concerned that without a clearer understanding of nerve locations and variations, I will not be able to tailor fittings effectively to each horse or avoid potential pressure points. Would it be possible to provide: - More detailed guidance or visuals for locating cranial nerves on live horses? - Any additional explanations or demonstrations (e.g. videos or diagrams)? - Reputable resources or references I can consult for further learning? - I’m committed to ensuring I fit each bridle as accurately and safely as possible and want to be confident that I’m not overlooking anything crucial in the process.

Its actually hard to locate/feel the nerves - they are usually beneath fascia and muscle - i just keep this diagram in the back of my head - or theres actually a great video on youtube about the micklem bridle when it first came out - it has a more simplistic model of the nerves to be mindful of when bridle fitting
Double Bridle Mastery
The double bridle mastery course was an excellent addition to the accredited fitters course. Is there a certificate to show completion of this course? If so, where can I access it?

AMAZING! Well done! There are 14 case studies that need to be completed to finalise your accreditation - if you need a hand with that just reach out and i can run you through it :)
