Join us as we learn how to recognise pain indications in the horses and how this can be applied to saddle fitting to ensure the welfare of the horse is protected.

Horses speak to us in a unique language and when we understand this it can help us to listen to the horses opinion and select the saddle they are most comfortable in.

This course is designed for professional or student saddle fitters however it may be of benefit to all horse owners and equine professionals.

Course Duration – 30 minutes
