IHF Live! w/ Letitia Glenn: Why Rethink Saddle Fit Aug 1, 2024

On August 1, 2024, IHF Live! welcomed Letitia Glenn of Contour Saddlery (https://naturalhorsemansaddles.com) as a special guest on our international Zoom Talk Show about Relationship-Based Horsemanship. Why Rethink Saddle Fit™ ? Over twenty years ago Leticia Glenn’s eyes were opened to the problems and pain that she and so many other riders unknowingly inflicted on our horses. Of course she wanted to give my horse the very best so she ordered an expensive “custom made, custom fitted” saddle for him. Though it might have seemed to “fit” him when he was standing still, it was unfortunately so very obvious he did not feel comfortable moving in it. And if he didn’t feel good in his body, there was no way he could reach his full potential nor be tuned in with Letitia as much as she hoped. Fast-forward to today, Letitia speaks on behalf of Contour Saddlery and its related business promising that it’s their privilege to share the key principles we’ve learned to fit the horse in motion. Providing education, tools and techniques to help you and your horse discover your best possible saddle fit is the joy of Letitia’s life. Her talented Teammates and her will dedicate ourselves to our well-being in this sphere. While her ideas may seem contrary to some long-held saddlery traditions - literally thousands and thousands of horses and riders have discovered this path to maximizing comfort and performance. Letitia Glenn and her team are delighted that we are all pursuing the very best for our riding partners, and praises us for daring to “Re-Think Saddle Fit”!
