Here’s what our past grads are saying about SA4EB

“I attended Saddle Assessment for Equine Bodyworkers hosted by Holly last March. To say it has changed the way I practice and assess horses would be an understatement.

Holly used her years of experience to carefully designed a course with her own first hand experience. She provided educated on the “dark side” of poor saddle fit, and real world ramifications to the horse.

This course has changed my perspective about conformation vs posture, and how the saddle plays the most valuable part in the ridden horse.

Most importantly this course gave me the confidence to assess my clients saddles, and give them educated feedback on the fit, and how it is affecting the horse.

Holly has changed the way I view the horse’s body and movement, and how saddle fit causes the most common body lameness issues I encounter in my practice. I am looking forward to building on my knowledge with Holly during her next course.”

"I was lucky enough to take part in the first offering of the saddle assessment for equine bodyworkers course.

It was definitely a valuable experience. There was plenty of photos and video examples to help train your eye and Holly’s ability to explain the how’s and whys of saddle fit was excellent.

Being able to see a variety of saddles and equine postures was instrumental in helping me to develop confidence in being able to better assess what I’m seeing.

I think learning at least the basics of saddle fit and how it effects the horse and rider is an invaluable skill for any equine professional.

I am thankful I was able to participate in this course."

"The Saddle Assessment for Bodyworkers course is a must have for equine professionals.

Holly’s training as both a saddle fitter and bodyworker provides a unique learning experience that you can’t find anywhere else.

Her bodyworker lens teaches you how to spot patterns in muscle development (or lack thereof) and her saddle fitter lens helps you be able to recognize what areas of the saddle may be contributing factors to what you’re seeing in the body.

Using this knowledge, I am more confident in showing clients potential reasons why their saddle may be affecting how their horse is moving and developing and why having a saddle fitting professional out would be beneficial."

Holly Barnett

Founder & CEO

For over 20 years Holly has studied and transformed the equestrian partnerships of all levels and disciplines. She specializes in dressage, eventing, and jumping as well as western and endurance riding.


Her clients unlock their true potential using her rider-centric, neuro-based approach.


Her innate ability to spot and resolve performance blocks, tempering the nervous system, harnessing the foundations of movement and optimizing the fit of equipment, enables clients to create quantum leaps in their riding performance.

The majority of ridden horses (amateur to olympic) work in pain and ill-fitting tack. The industry has normalized this pain in horse and rider to the point that it’s seldom recognized or even acknowledged.


One of her greatest achievements to date is the invention and implementation of the world’s very first patrol saddle, designed specifically for horse and rider comfort and longevity of the mounted patrol horse.
