Meet The Founder

Drawing inspiration from iconic bit makers such as Ray Maheu, John Barker, and the legendary Jay Shuttleworth, I embarked on the journey of establishing Philip Alexander.

Our mission is to reintroduce craftsmanship to the bit market, providing dedicated equestrians with the opportunity to discover or even collaborate in designing the ideal bit for their cherished horses. We strive to optimize both comfort and efficiency, recognizing the significance of this vital element in horsemanship and equine sport gear.

"Custom horse bits are becoming less common and harder to find as the market is saturated by cheap manufactured bits which you can find on almost any shelf. Not only are manufactured bits uncomfortable and confusing for the horse, but they’re also completely devoid of the attention to detail and artisanal craftsmanship that makes our beloved sport unique."

- Ana, Founder and Creative Director
