Your introduction to Lorinery science

Developed by NEUE SCHULE’s expert bitting specialists.

The Certificate in Equine Bits and Bitting Science is your starting point to introduce you to Lorinery Science- the science behind how bits work.

Your study is carried out fully online with tutor support at your own pace.

the History of Bitting

Delve into the origins of bits and bitting and how this affected our relationship with horses, looking at the early bits into modern designs.

Rein Force Distribution

Delve into the origins of bits and bitting and how this affected our relationship with horses, looking at the early bits into modern designs.

Modern Materials

Take a look at some of the different materials that bits are made from. Compare the benefits and downsides of these common materials.

Action of the Bit

See how the bits works when in the horse’s mouth, learn about the Working Angle and bit rotation!

Equine Head and Mouth Anatomy

Take a look inside the horse’s mouth, learn about the structures within the mouth which come into play when considering bits.

The Certificate in Equine Bits and Bitting Science course is designed to enhance learner’s knowledge about bits and bitting and is suitable for anyone with a passion for horses and a desire to learn. The information gained can be applied to every-day bitting scenarios to help owners make informed bitting choices.

Assessments

The course is assessed through online examinations consisting of a Mid-session exam and a Final exam. These exams are split into two parts (Level I and Level II).

LEVEL I

Short answer, multiple choice assessment.

LEVEL II

A more complex short answer assessment which requires deeper thinking and application of prior knowledge to new scenarios.

Teaching and Support

The course is largely self-study but tutors are on-hand to respond to queries on a group or individual level. Student
forums are available for students to share knowledge and any issues with the course work. In addition, there are videos on some of the basic mathematics to provide clear and easily understood principles.

All fee-paying students benefit from free enrolment on the Mathematics for Bits and Bitting Module and a certificate is offered for those choosing to complete the examinations (optionally). Lantra registration is not included in this offer.
