In-person saddle fitting courses

Our in-person saddle fitting courses are where our students get the hands-on experience that makes all the difference when it comes to understanding how a poorly fitted saddle can affect your horse.

We balance practical and theoretical to ensure our students are carrying the information given to them through to physically fitting. This blend allows the information to truly resonate with our students, allowing them to fall back on real experiences when faced with a challenging task.

This is one of many invaluable skills we aim to deliver to our students on their journey to becoming qualified saddle fitters.
