Ellen Fitzgerald - Expert Saddle-Fitter & Founder of SaddleHands, Inc.

Ellen Fitzgerald works with her clients to achieve the saddle fit that allows peak comfort and performance for both horse and rider. 

She addresses all styles and makes of saddles using basic principles of fit that promote ease of movement for horses and optimum balance for the riders.  Ellen maintains her objectivity by not representing any saddle company and is able to evaluate what brands are more suitable for certain equine body types. 

She believes that saddles are like blue jeans.  “We all have different makes that fit our frames better than others.”

Ellen trained with English and Western master saddlers, nationally recognized veterinarians, equine massage therapists, and other practitioners to develop a well rounded understanding of the biomechanical needs of equine sports.  She has synthesized this information and works to educate equestrians all over the country through presentations, magazine articles and in each individual saddle fitting.  Ellen is a regular presenter for equine massage schools and riding clubs and has been invited back to present at the 2009 Certified Horsemanship Association International Conference.  Her articles have appeared in John Lyons Perfect Horse Magazine (April 2008) and Equine Wellness Magazine (May/June 2008).
