A native of Germany, my profession for many years was as a translator for a number of international companies. While translating German, French and English, I had many great experiences and the opportunity to live in such amazing locations as London, Paris, the Caribbean and Bermuda.

Always with a horse, I rode competitively in Europe, competing up to 4th level dressage and eventing to Prelim in Germany. While working in France, I had a healthy taste of competing in the show jumping arena.

When I moved to Vermont, I worked for an equine veterinarian, running the entire office operation and gaining extensive hands-on experience while assisting. It was during this time that I witnessed many horses suffering from severely sore backs due to ill fitting saddles.

Trying to find a saddle for my own Morgan mare was a difficult process in itself and that experience ultimately gave me the incentive to become more educated about saddle fitting. After countless attempts trying treed saddles which did not fit my mare, I discovered treeless saddles. This was the perfect solution for us and I wanted to share that success with others. I have been importing treeless saddles from Europe ever since.

This long journey has spiked an interest in saddle fitting in general and led me to the purchase of the pressure scanning system that I now offer as a service to you. I believe this system to be the most beneficial of the many I researched, as it uniquely offers a dynamic and in-motion saddle pressure scan. What a fabulous use of technology!

Never one to stop learning, I soon developed a keen interest in the details and complexities of the physical process of saddle fitting, the logical "next step" to me after performing a dynamic saddle scan. After extensive research I enrolled in an exclusive saddle fitting program with Mike Scott (www.saddleguy.com), a Master Saddler (and Equine Massage therapist) in South Carolina. His course is an intensive 6 month program which only accepts a few students each year. With this knowledge I can then apply the information from a dynamic saddle scan to properly adjust and fit the saddle to the horse, providing my clients a turn-key service.
