Trusted Partnerships: How Listing Supports Equine Fitters

Géraldine Vandevenne

“Proud to be a member of the Equine Fitters Directory!”

Issi Russell

“I am proud to have been accepted and to be able to display the kitemark and I look forward to seeing how the Directory grows”

Bea Blakeman

“Listing all saddle, bridle and bit fitters under one directory just makes sense and helps clients to find their qualified professionals”

Steph Bradley

“The Equine Fitters Directory provides transparency to the general public as to how equine fitters are qualified. Given the increasing plethora of “qualifications” within the marketplace, and the lack of regulation to inform the consumer of the differences, the EFD helps customers navigate their way through this complex area.”

Keren Morris

“As a professional saddling coach, the Equine Fitters Directory is important. It shows the equestrian public that we are committed to doing all we can to safeguard and promote the optimum health and wellbeing of the horses in our care. It shows our commitment to professionalism, continuing education, transparent responsibility and to providing excellent, knowledgeable service. Since anyone can call themselves a saddle fitter, joining the register helps us to stand out from the crowd and it's a wonderful resource for horse owners who are seeking help from those they can trust."

Helen Reader

“There are a growing number of qualifications within the saddlery industry. A central directory that lists equine fitters with their qualifications will allow the equestrian public and paraprofessionals to make an informed decision about who they engage for their horses or clients. This in turn should raise the standard of fitting services and therefore improve horse welfare.”

Cobi Baillie

“I’m so excited to announce that I have been accepted as a ‘Qualified Fitter’ and I am now listed on the Equine Fitter’s Directory! This is an incredible thing for the equine industry as this voluntary regulation will give owners/equine professionals a single hub of information to find suitably qualified saddle, bridle, bit and harness fitters.”

Olivia Turner

"I have been Listed in the Equine Fitters Directory for nearly a year now and am so pleased I joined. The EFD stands out due the highly skilled and experienced team that make up the Council, their passion for horse welfare and the backing of both The Saddlers Company and The Worshipful Company of Loriners. I feel supported by this team and satisfied that new members are verified carefully, and their qualifications and insurance checked before being listed on the directory. This gives horse owners a reliable list to come to and safeguards our profession in the equine industry."

Jennifer Roy

"I am very proud to be part of the Equine Fitters Directory. The horse world is a large and confusing one for owners and to have all professional fitters together in this directory is a great step forward to helping them navigate a way through and do the best for their horses."

Laura Nickel

"We always strive to help the clients understand our qualifications. To see a list of professionals on this website will hopefully add to our already comprehensive collaborations with others and lead us all to work together more, helping clients get more clarity in the maze of fitters in the field."

Catherine Baker

'The saddlery fitting world can be a confusing place for the equestrian public. Being able to search for a qualified or experienced fitter on the Equine Fitters Directory helps to reassure owners & riders that the fitter they are using meets the high standards set out by the Equine Fitters Council.'
