Amana Saddle Fitting Services

15/02/2026

Thank you Lucy Chester Horsemanship and Liz Wenman - Veterinary Chiropractor - MSc MAA MMCP for inviting me to talk at Clip Clop club earlier this week.

I was battling illness but it was lovely to speak to such a lovely group of equestrians about Saddle Balance and ensuring your saddle is placed within the horse’s saddle support area.

I really enjoyed the questions and look forward to attending future Clip Clop clubs as an attendee - these sessions are really great, inexpensive, fun and give back to a worthwhile cause spirit horse rescue.

❗️ 📣 Announcement to all clients 📣 ❗️

From April 2026 we will be moving to France 🇫🇷 🌍. Whilst I am very excited to be living a life long dream and moving overseas the next few weeks are going to be very busy for me as I prepare to move my life abroad ✈️.

As such I am going to be scaling back my availability for saddle fits in the next few weeks and will be ceasing to conduct fittings in the UK entirely from Sunday 12th of April (if not sooner).

Whilst I will be back to the UK on a monthly basis to continue to attend training for my equine podiatry qualification I am not altogether sure yet whether I will be able to keep a few saddle fitting clients on my books as I had intended.

For that reason I am able to provide recommendations to colleagues that I know and trust depending on your area who should be able to assist those of you in need of checks or new saddles for yourself and your equine partners. An email communication will be sent out to clients with the names of these highly reputable saddle fitters who I am sure will be keen to support you and your horses in my stead.

I just want to say it’s been an absolute privilege to work with such lovely owners and horses and I wish you and your horses all the best for the future 💙 🐎 💫.

For the meantime, I will be continuing to post on this page and no doubt there will be future updates and developments to the Amana brand as I step into my next chapter of life.

Stay tuned folks!

Great dissection evening at Equivet Veterinary Chiropractic and Acupuncture Therapies learning about the anatomy of the front and hind limbs of the horse🐴 👨‍⚕️ 👩‍⚕️.

I think it is amazing and so beneficial for horse owners to have access to free educational resources like this and even more so that the vets gave up their evening to host this event.

I loved being able to solidify some of my understandings from my equine podiatry training and also to understand more about what treatments they can provide to help with limb pathologies. Thank you so much again Equivet team!!

This is why as saddle fitters (and horse owners) we need to be really careful about the use of tree presses.

This weekend I’m away at Areion Academy in my first practical weekend as a second year equine podiatry course (wahoo 😀). The weather is however dismal ☔️ 🌧️ 💧.

Let’s have some Sunday fun to make me feel better about all this rain. 😆

I can’t decide… would I likely/most realistically be an arab or a SHETLAND 😂? Maybe a hybrid of the two 😆😆😆😆.

Would love to know from all of you what horse breed you would be and why?

Sunday Fun: If you were a horse, what breed would you be and why?

Em: Carneddau. Small, robust, opinionated. Good at carrying large weights, known to travel long distances and walk up mountains for fun. No sense of fear or self preservation.

Nia: Welsh Section D, MARE!! Can turn out well if the effort is put in, responds well to pampering, and princess treatment, but equally at home in scruffs and mud. Can be impatient and temperamental, handle with care and treats for best outcomes!

➕💯.

This weekend I totalled up how much CPD I did last year to submit my records and it was over a staggering 116 hours 🤯. Everything from shadowing other equine professionals or other fitters, attending courses, reading, listening to podcasts….you get the picture.

I admit, I’m bit of an addict when it comes to learning and continuing professional development, but at the heart of it, I just love horses 🐴 and love geeking out on them 🤓.

Today I started my CPD for 2026 by shadowing the incredible Sara Udal - Saddles. This incredible lady blows my mind every time I’m with her. Blessed are the wonderful professionals who graciously allow others to benefit from their knowledge and experience ❤️.

Thank you, to all the professionals that have and continue to support me on my journey. And thank you to Sara’s clients who’ve let me tag along to their fittings today!
