Meet Hannah — Saddle Fitter at Sprucewood Tack 🐴
Hannah’s passion for horses began at a young age, growing up riding in the Ottawa area and developing a career in the equestrian industry that has now spanned more than 12 years. With over 18 years in the saddle, she has built a diverse background encompassing high-level competition, professional grooming, breeding, and saddle fitting.
Her experience has taken her throughout the equestrian industry, including working internationally as a groom and at Spruce Meadows. As a show jumper herself, Hannah has developed a deep understanding of the demands placed on both horse and rider, and the importance of maintaining comfort, balance, and freedom of movement throughout a horse’s career.
Hannah spent three years as a saddle fitter with Voltaire Design, gaining extensive experience fitting a wide variety of horses and riders across disciplines and levels of competition. This experience, combined with her practical knowledge of horses and riding, has given her a well-rounded perspective on the relationship between saddle fit, horse biomechanics, and rider position.
Hannah approaches every fitting with the belief that the horse must come first. Her goal is to find a solution that respects each horse’s individual conformation, movement, and needs, while supporting the rider in achieving a balanced and effective position.
By combining her experience as a rider, groom, and saddle fitter, Hannah brings a thoughtful and practical approach to every fitting, with the welfare, comfort, and performance of the horse at the forefront.
