Where our profession
meets your passion

With our mobile equestrian store we visit professional and ambitious yards, so you and your riders can try, fit and choose everything you need at your own stable. No guessing from behind a screen, no ordering three sizes and sending half of it back. Just expert advice and a complete selection of bits, right where you ride.

How we started

Bitspecialist is the online home of Rob van Boxtel Equestrian. What started in 2009 with a small tack collection in a barn and a truck at a few shows has grown into a full-service equestrian partner for ambitious riders, both online and offline.

We live in the sport. Our team is on the road at national and international competitions throughout the year and works daily with professional and ambitious riders in the stables. That direct contact with the ring is what shapes our assortment and our advice.

In the ring, in the truck, and in the showroom

You do not just meet
Bitspecialist behind a screen.

That constant presence offline makes our online shop stronger. We only select brands and products that perform in real life, in real rings, with real horses.

In our showroom in Sint-Oedenrode you can see, feel, and fit the collection and sit down with our specialists for one-to-one advice on saddles, bits, boots, and equipment.

With our mobile showroom trucks we visit top stables in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany so riders and grooms can shop and get advice at their own yard.

Each year we are present with our stand at many international shows, from one star to five star level, which keeps us close to what is happening in top sport.

Who we are

Bitspecialist is part of Rob van Boxtel Equestrian, the company built by international rider and saddle specialist Rob van Boxtel. Years of experience in the sport at the highest level are translated into a carefully curated assortment and specialised services such as Saddle Lease and bit testing.

Saddle and tack specialists who spend a large part of their week in the truck and at competitions, fitting saddles and advising riders.

Bit and performance experts who help you choose the right combination for your horse's mouth, frame, and discipline.

E-commerce and operations professionals who make sure the online experience is as sharp and reliable as the service at the show.

What we stand for

Everything at Bitspecialist starts from one idea.
Where our profession meets your passion. That means

We select products on function and performance first, not on trends alone.

We work with brands we trust and would use on our own horses.

We believe in honest advice, even when that means advising less instead of more.

We think in long term combinations between horse, rider, and equipment.

Online convenience,
offline expertise

Bitspecialist brings together the best of both worlds. The convenience of a modern webshop and the depth of a team that truly works in the sport. You can order online with fast worldwide shipping, or you can see us live at shows, in the trucks at your yard, or in the showroom.

Whether you are stepping into your first 1.10 class or riding five star Grand Prix, we are here as the quiet partner behind you and your horse.
