Looking for a career change? No saddle fitters in your area?
The next Comprehensive Western and English saddle fitting class starts in July, with more classes to follow.
This six-month saddle fitting clinic is designed to equip students with essential skills and knowledge for fitting both Western and English saddles. Our curriculum utilizes a holistic approach, covering topics such as horse and rider anatomy, biomechanics, saddle construction, and fit customization for both horse and rider. The clinic ensures a well-rounded understanding of both English and Western saddlery, providing students with comprehensive training in the art of fitting and adjusting a wide array of both disciplines of saddles. Clinic size is limited to six students, ensuring ample individual attention and hands-on practice opportunities. Students will attend three 4-day immersive in-person sessions where they will gain hands-on experience with our lead trainers as their guide. These sessions are supplemented with both group and personalized Zoom meetings and coursework includes immersive case studies to gain practical knowledge. Participants who successfully complete requirements will emerge with confidence, ready to begin their own saddle-fitting business or work for a saddle company, armed with a robust network of mentors and peers to support their continued growth and success.
