Why many recurring pain, behavior, and performance issues in ridden horses never fully get resolved and what’s actually being missed
The surprising truth most professionals don’t realize: you are already seeing saddle-related problems, you just don’t yet have a structured way to evaluate them
Why relying on basic fit checks, opinions, or brand advice is costing you better results, client trust, and a valuable revenue stream
The clear, step-by-step framework used to assess horse, rider, and saddle as one system so you can move from guesswork to confident, evidence-based evaluations

This webinar is specifically designed for equine professionals and serious aspiring professionals who want better outcomes for horses and a stronger, more complete professional skillset.
If you are a:
Trainer, coach, or riding instructor dealing with recurring issues that don’t fully resolve
Bodyworker, therapist, or vet who suspects the saddle may be involved but lacks a structured way to assess it
Saddle fitter or equine professional who wants a more evidence-based, brand-neutral system
Horse owner or aspiring professional ready to develop a credible, income-generating skill
And you want a clear, repeatable system to confidently evaluate saddle fit, improve horse outcomes, and add a high-value service to your work…
This is for you.



This training is not for those looking for quick tips, surface-level knowledge, or a casual introduction.
This is for equine professionals and serious aspiring professionals who are willing to learn, apply, and use a structured system in real-world situations.
If you are not working with ridden horses or do not plan to apply this skill professionally, this is not the right fit.
Secret #1
Why the saddle is often the most overlooked root cause behind recurring pain, behaviour, and performance issues in ridden horses, and how to recognize when it is involved
Secret #2
How professional saddle fit evaluation is a learnable, step-by-step skill and not something you need years of trial and error or natural talent to develop
Secret #3
How to integrate saddle fit evaluation into your current work and turn it into a clear, high-value paid service without changing your role or starting over

No matter your background or current situation, this training is designed to meet you where you are, even if you:
Have never formally studied saddle fit before
Are already busy with your current workload
Are not in a major equine hub or competitive market
Have seen conflicting advice and are unsure what to trust
Have tried courses or mentorships that did not give you a clear system
This training will show you what has been missing and how to approach saddle fit differently from now on.
This training is designed to show you how the system works and what may be missing in how saddle fit is currently assessed.
We want you to see the framework and decide for yourself if a deeper certification is the right next step.
At the end, we’ll explain the full certification for those who want to apply this professionally.
No. The system is designed to be learned from the ground up.
Many professionals start without formal saddle fitting training and apply this within their existing work.
The webinar will run live on Thursday at 8am ET and Thursday at 1PM ET and lasts approximately 60 to 75 minutes.
We’ll walk through the framework step by step and answer questions at the end.
Yes, if you work with ridden horses. It’s designed to integrate into roles such as trainers, coaches, bodyworkers, therapists, vets, farriers, saddle fitters, barn managers, and other equine professionals.
We’ll explain how the Certified Equine Ergonomist program works for those who want to take this further.
If it’s a good fit, you can enroll. If not, you’ll still leave with a clearer approach to saddle fit.
