Matt Miller Saddle-Fitting Clinics are designed to teach the horse owner the mechanics of how the saddle, horse and rider function as one. Matt explains the make-up of the saddletree and how it is influenced by the rider's size and body type, as it relates to seat size, cantle height and width, as well as placement of the stirrup leather notches. Once these principals are understood, the horse's conformation is addressed as to gullet width, bar angle and twist, and location of the rocker on the tree bar.
Only after these issues are addressed, is the saddle itself explained in detail as to how it works on the horse. The rigging type and its position are crucial to the performance of the horse. Matt explains all these mechanical principles in easy to understand layman's terms that will enlighten both the beginner and expert horsemen alike. This information is vital to the prospective saddle buyer, as well as to those experiencing problems with a horse or a saddle they already own. With all the misinformation and fads being applied randomly to these problem areas, concerned horsemen will find this information extremely helpful in their search for unity with their horse.
Matt has done these clinics all over the western United States for the last two decades, and says, "This knowledge is easily understood given the correct information. I have yet to come across an individual or group, with the desire to learn, that is unable to understand and apply these concepts."
With the cost of saddles and the heartache of seeing your horse suffer, due to improper fit, the Matt Miller Saddle-Fitting Clinic is a giant step in the right direction. You owe it to yourself and your horse.
