About The Fitted Horse
Specialists in Equine Comfort
The fitted Horse was born after an unfortunate accident with my own horse, Matador. This left me with a fractured spine as a result of, what we now know, to be poor fitting tack.
I had questioned the fit of my equipment but the "experts" I'd consulted advised a good fit. Experienced trainers, yard managers, fellow owners, and bodywork practitioners, all had the same opinion... something was not right with his tack.
Matador had a "holiday" from ridden work whilst we tried to establish where the problem lay and find a well recommended fitter who could squeeze us in. My MCI nationals dressage horse had turned into a horse resisting a contact, reluctant to bend and not offering any hind end engagement
After a couple of weeks of back to basics, with groundwork only, Matador relaxed into a much calmer and happier horse again. I managed to get an excellent fitter and as suspected, he was an uncomfortable horse in his tack.
I made a promise to Matador that day that I would never let him be uncomfortable working with me again.
As horse owners, we make huge sacrifices for the animals we adore and we make decisions based on trusted professionals.
I felt I had been let down and therefore let Matador down so I made a decision to invest in the future of our beloved animals and be a professional that the equestrian community could trust and rely on.
