Become a qualified saddlefitter
Do you want to turn your hobby into your profession? Are you passionate about horses, horse welfare and have you always dreamt of working in the equine industry but you didn't want to be riding all day or spend most of your days mucking out stables? Do you want to make a difference in welfare of both horse and rider, be a part of the team around a horse and make a difference in performance?
Then becoming a saddlefitter might just be what you were looking for. As a saddlefitter you can truly make a direct difference in the performance and welfare of both horse and rider.
After launching our first Dutch course in '22 we received a lot of questions from people abroad to follow the course. We decided to fully run a course first in order to further optimalise our program. Now, we're ready to go international.
Let's make a difference together.
"The saddle is the most important and literal connection between both horse and rider."
About the course
Saddlefitting is still an unregulated profession. This means that anyone, with or without the proper knowledge can start working as a saddlefitter. In this day and age where the equine industry is under such a magnifying glass worldwide, horse welfare is becoming more important. Never has there been more research carried out in regards to horse welfare than in these current times. This is exactly why we think it is time to do better.
Together with a team of equine specialists we carefully re-evaluated saddlefitting as a profession. What competences, qualities and knowledge does a really good saddlefitter have to hold in order to really make a difference? Where can we do better and improve what we’ve been doing throughout the years?
The outcome of these intensive sessions is the guiding principle throughout the course. The Equine Saddlefitting Specialist course is unique in its completeness, depth, practical knowledge, and guidance in entrepreneurship.
