Meet Irma!

I have been working as a full-time saddle fitter since 2005 and have dedicated my career to improving comfort, balance and performance for both horse and rider.

I am a qualified Advanced Equine Saddle Fitting Specialist (NL), Master Saddle Fitting Consultant (NL) and hold the Society of Master Saddlers Saddle Fitting Qualification (UK). These qualifications, combined with years of practical experience, allow me to provide a thorough and professional saddle fitting service tailored to the individual needs of every partnership.

Alongside saddle fitting, I am a certified equestrian and medical fitness trainer, specialising in rider posture, seat and physical fitness. I believe that achieving the best performance and comfort is about more than just the saddle - it requires understanding the horse and rider as a complete partnership.

More recently, I have trained in rider movement preferences and am a qualified Rider Preferences Coach, enabling me to assess each rider's natural movement patterns and action type. This provides an additional layer of insight when selecting and fitting a saddle, helping riders achieve greater balance, harmony and effectiveness in the saddle.

My strength lies in taking a truly holistic approach to saddle fitting, considering the horse, the saddle and the rider together to achieve the very best outcome for all three.
