Chrisi Scott and Tarzan in a Schleese HK saddle.
Hello from sunny Florida, where I am presently enroute with my last session of saddle fitting clinics for the winter. The last three days have been absolutely amazing. I have enough pictures and stories to fill this blog for weeks! I truly love the before and after results of helping horses. This is a feeling I cannot even begin to express, knowing the difference I have made for both horse and rider in providing them with a properly fitting saddle.
I will be sharing stories with you from various clinics around North America over the next weeks and months, interspersed with ‘educational’ blogs as well. And some of these stories will serve to introduce you to the wonderful people I have the privilege of sharing my passion with (clients, employees, and associates). I would appreciate your feedback if this is something that you enjoy reading about (I personally love hearing these kinds of stories) or if there are specific topics you would like me to address.
This week’s blog comes from Erica Spencer, CSFT, one of our newest US employees working out of Texas. Here is her story:
“I’ve worked a lot of different jobs. At some I made a lot of money, others not so much. Some were with horses, some were not, (though I liked the former a lot more.) The biggest issue I had with every one of them was not feeling fulfilled at the end of the day. I see it this way – we spend a lot of time working, so we should LOVE what we do all day. I really wanted to make a difference. If I could make a difference to a horse, that was really hitting the jackpot. Then I decided to become a saddle ergonomist. It was a philosophy that made a huge difference in my personal horse, and it looked like the perfect opportunity to finally find what I was looking for in life. And so it was.
Very recently I came across a young lady named Christina Scott ‘Chrisi’ from Richmond, Texas with a lovely horse named Tarzan, and they were both in desperate need of help. Read the full article here.
