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?

HI Zoe! You need to submit 14 case studies as part of your assessment - run these as you would a bit fitting and document in such a way that it showcases your skills and what you have learned - I am pretty relaxed on how they are presented - some people prefer written, video, photos

Kits
What does everyone use to store all their bits and tools for bit fitting?

I have HPRC cases - however you may not need something that robust. I have seen people set up a good system with kmart organising drawers :) They are small but heavy items so no matter what you pick make sure its able to be carried/hold the weight.
