Saddle Fitting is a must if you are serious about therapeutic work with horses. You can’t separate saddle fit from an evaluation of a horse that is being ridden.

Dr. Kerry Ridgway presents this clinic with slides, examples of trees, pads, saddles, shoes, wedges, measuring devices, templates, demonstrations and a variety of horses with saddle fitting and shoeing issues.

Saddle fit topics and practicals make up about 85 % of the course. The remainder will address farrier issues. This includes issues we should look for in the foot as a body worker and how it can also affect saddle fit. Because most of us cannot run out and buy a new saddle if it no longer fits, Dr. Ridgway offers ideal, existing and temporary solutions.
