Maria is from the Western Saddler and sister company The Saddler's Technique. Maria is a Horse-Comfort based saddle fitter.

Maria has spent many years learning about saddle fitting, girthing, saddle pads and equine behaviour, to help every horse, donkey and mule she sees. She works with many breeds and ages of equine.

Maria is very busy and runs her saddle fitting work alongside the courses, and as well as visiting clients in her locale, she also takes to the road and visits different parts of the UK, providing an oppotunity for those further afield to benefit from her consultancy and fitting.

Her website The Western Saddler Ltd offers a wide range of saddles, cinches, bridles, groundwork equipment and more.

For like-minded individuals, Maria has designed a Western and Treeless Saddle Fitting course, which is aimed at various groups of people;

The Western Saddler's Course - For those who would like to work with Maria, on a self-employed basis, covering the UK and parts of Europe. This is an in-depth course for those sharing Maria's passion for ensuring the best levels of comfort for equines
The Equine Professionals Course - For bodyworkers and other professionals working with a 'whole horse' approach who want to further their knowledge
Horse Owner's Course (Western) - For owners who would like to be able to recognise poorly fitting western saddles and gain an understanding on cinching and padding.
Horse Owner's Course (Treeless) - For those wishing to recognise poorly fitting treeless saddles, with learning also surrounding girthing and padding.
