The IEEBF focuses on educating individuals about the correct fitting of bits in horses’ mouths with the aim of obtaining comfort for the horse and rider as well as functionality according to the different riding disciplines.
IEEBF is a CRKBO registered institution and is accredited by the IAEBF, IGFP and the KNHS.
