Understanding the complete horse—inside and out—is the foundation of my work. Their nutrition, comfort, fitness, and biomechanics all directly impact their overall well-being—and every single one of these factors must be considered when addressing tack fitting, training, and bodywork.
Starting with horses at a very young age allowed me to experience many different roles across the industry. After earning certifications and gaining hands-on experience in Equine Bodywork and Riding Instruction, I embraced the field of Saddle Fitting in 2005, receiving dedicated training and formal certification. Since then, I have continually expanded my professional education to include Equine Osteopathy, rider biomechanics, cold laser application, and kinesiology taping.
This comprehensive foundation allows me to confidently assist my clients in keeping their horses comfortable, balanced in their tack, and performing at their best.
