Our mission at Saddle & Stride is to support the partnership between horse and rider by providing expert saddle fitting services rooted in over 20 years of equestrian experience.

Born and raised in New Jersey, my lifelong journey with horses has taken me across a broad spectrum of the equestrian industry. From teaching and training horses and riders to my own pursuits in fox hunting, eventing, and dressage, I’ve developed a holistic perspective on the needs of both horse and rider. One of my key strengths as a trainer and saddle fitter is my special eye for the mechanics of rider position in relation to the saddle. Ensuring harmony between horse, rider, and tack is not just my passion—it’s my mission.

My journey into saddle fitting began with the encouragement of the late and great Kate Wooten of English Saddle Fit of Tennessee. Her mentorship inspired me to pursue an education in this field, and I remain committed to honing my craft. Currently, I am completing my certification while regularly attending advanced classes in saddle fitting and repair. Continuing education is a cornerstone of my practice, as I strive to provide the most up-to-date and effective solutions for my clients.
