Fantastic day with some great friends and colleagues

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our first CPD day as the IASF Global Network! We has an incredible day reviewing a case study and looking at potential manufacturer solutions. Here we are at BLISS OF LONDON - Saddle makers of distinction where Nikki shared her expertise and saddle design options for this tricky case.

A special thank you to all of the manufacturers who took part in the day and opened their doors to help facilitate the continued growth and development of our industry professionals who joined us from a diverse range of backgrounds.

If you missed out on this event, don't worry! Be sure to join us next week for our first virtual Round Table discussion where we will be debating a hot topic in the saddle fitting world. IASF Global Network membership is open to all and we welcome you to join us! Follow us for more information.

Good to keep learning

We’re really excited about the first IASF CPD Day coming up next week.

One of the things we are most proud of at the International Academy of Saddle Fitters (IASF) is the strength of our global network.

Our aim has always been to create a supportive professional community for saddle fitters around the world. Whether you are fully qualified or currently in training, you can join the IASF Global Network and become part of a group committed to improving standards across the industry.

Membership isn’t just about a certificate. It’s about ongoing support, mentoring and guidance from people who care deeply about doing the job properly.

Through the Academy we provide:

• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) days
• Access to experienced mentors
• A global community of professional saddle fitters
• Ongoing learning and knowledge sharing

Saddle fitting is a profession where we never stop learning. Horses evolve, research evolves, and the industry evolves with it.

Our mission at IASF is simple:
to improve saddle fitting standards and horse welfare across the globe.

If you are a qualified saddle fitter or currently training, we would love to welcome you into the network.

The DB Equine Whole-Horse Approach

At DB Equine, Equine Sports Massage is never a standalone service.

By combining:
🐴 Sports Massage
🐴 Saddle fitting
🐴 Bit & bridle assessment

We ensure muscle issues are not continually caused by ill-fitting equipment—leading to better, longer-lasting results for the horse and better value for the owner.

Happy to help

In this case I would suggest The Whole Horse Approach.

Dressage requires controlled, sustained muscle engagement and symmetry.

Equine Sports Massage supports:
✅️ Suppleness and elasticity
✅️Even muscle development
✅️Improved engagement and balance

By reducing restriction, horses can work more correctly through their body.

However by using a professional who can look at at both saddle fit and advise on massage therapy would be more beneficial in this case, one professional covering both areas would be able to get to the origin of the problem.

Contact Debbie to discuss how Equine Sports Massage & The whole horse approach can support you and your horse in the season ahead 07762 415122
