A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I am an equestrian author, having written The Complete Horse Riding Manual, published by Dorling Kindersley and now translated into eleven languages. I am also inventor of the Micklem Multibridle, which offers significant improvements in comfort for the horse and can be used as a bridle, a lunge cavesson and a bitless bridle. I discovered Karen and David O'Connors Olympic horses Bico, Custom Made and Gilt Edge and bred Karen's Olympic ride in Hong Kong, Mandiba. I give presentations round the world on many subjects specialising in Coaching, Young Horse Training, Assessing Riders and Horses, Rider Safety, and Performance Priorities, and designed the unique structures for improving performance, Habitual Hats and The GO! Rules. I am a Fellow of the British Horse Society and live in Ireland.

    Hi William,

    Welcome to barnmice! I love your bridle design & would love to know more about how you came up with the concept? I'm hoping one may appear under my christmas tree. Don't suppose you happen to know when a black version will be available (sorry, it's the dressage queen within, must have matching kit!)

    thanks for joining my group, we spoke very highly of your blogs last week, keep posting, I know I enjoy them. I would like to get a hold of your book, is it available readily here in Canada? If your book is anything like your blogs...well its should be an excellent read!

    Hello,
    I just wanted to say that after having been lectured to ad nauseam by one of my professors about the damage the bridle can inflict on the horse (he is one of the foremost experts on head-shaking), I was very excited to see your bridle. It is great that you have taken the time to design one that relieves the major facial nerves. I should be quite surprised if I am not out showing in one next summer! It is great that you have approached bridle design in a modern and scientific fashion.
    I have to say I also quite like Jackaroo, he'll be exciting to see develop in the next few years.

    Well, hopefully I can start a new fashion, but I think you'll have to sponsor me if I do! I'll let you know how mine progress in it.
