⭐️ A well‑deserved shout‑out to Listed Equine Fitter Charlotte Warman of Charlotte Warman Bitting Solutions. Her excellent bit and bridle fitting played a key role in supporting Rochelle Scears and Karnita, this summer’s Equine Fit Award winners at the BRC Howden Horse Trials Championships. ⭐️

The judges were impressed by the tack fit, with their scores reflecting the thoughtful investment in Karnita’s comfort and welfare following Charlotte’s recent professional fitting.

This Equine Fit Award offers a short, welfare‑first assessment (not a full fitting), designed to highlight good practice in competition and raise awareness of how fit underpins equine comfort, wellbeing and performance.

Thank you to @‌BritishRidingClubsOfficial for hosting us - we are looking forward to the next Equine Fit Award! ➡️

Celebrating Equine Fitting at the BETA Gala Awards 2026
What a brilliant evening!

The British Equestrian Trade Association Gala Awards Dinner brought together people from across the equestrian trade to celebrate the businesses, skills and expertise that help keep horses safe, healthy and comfortable; from feed and safety equipment to the fitting of saddles and bridles. Alongside the celebrations, the evening raised funds for Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA).

This year was a first for the Equine Fitter of the Year awards, with not one, but two categories recognising the distinct skills involved in bit and bridle fitting, and saddle fitting.

EFC Chair Sue Douthwaite was delighted to present the awards to two Listed Equine Fitters:

🏆 Olivia Turner – Equine Fitter of the Year: Bit & Bridle Fitter
Olivia Turner Animal Behaviour Consultant & Equine Bitting Specialist
�🏆 Anne Marshall – Equine Fitter of the Year: Saddle Fitter
Gammack's saddlery

With four exceptional finalists in each category, the competition was strong. The judges highlighted what truly sets an excellent equine fitter apart: technical skill paired with an approachable, caring attitude. Clients value someone who listens, explains why, and empowers them to understand their horse's needs. Above all, the horse’s welfare comes first🐴✨

Each finalist demonstrated these qualities, and we are delighted and proud to sponsor these awards. By celebrating practitioners who put the horse first, these awards help showcase the contribution equine fitters make to horse welfare and encourage the high standards our sector should aspire to.

Congratulations to Olivia, Anne and all our finalists! 🎉
