Led by the esteemed pioneer in the field, Natascha van Eijk, the course offers a level of knowledge and practical application that is unmatched. Not everybody is aware that the ICPBC was the first bitfitting education worldwide and therefore sets the standard for the highest level of understanding contact issues. This education is so much more than just information about bits. Natascha's extensive experience of years and years in bitfitting, combined with her innovative approach in biomechanics of the horse with her symmetry method ensures that you receive cutting-edge training that goes beyond the basics.
