Hello! My name is Maija, and I’m a young entrepreneur who bought two wild horses and tamed them. Later, I faced a dilemma — do I really have to buy a saddle worth two thousand euros for a 200-euro horse just to get a quality product?
Keep in mind- I HAVE A PROPER CERTIFICATION IN SADDLE FITTING.
(My horses are endlessly valuable to me, of course — but you get the point!)
And the answer was… Yes and no.
Yes, because:
These days, saddles are sold with huge markups. Cheap saddles are terribly low quality.
And most saddles don’t fit wide-backed horses and often feature questionable design choices...
Saddle market just LACKS information and education-
where, how and what type of saddle do I need for me and my horse??-
Frustrating- isn't it?
I had given up searching and decided that treeless saddles were the best answer I could find.
Until I started feeling sorry for my beloved horses — they were lacking proper pressure distribution on their backs.
No, because:
I decided to take the reins into my own hands! Finding proper saddles is hard and expensive — I would make it easy, without punching a hole in your wallet.
I got my education in saddlefit 4 life academy, that was the best education in saddle fit and I got a STAGE 4 ADVANCED SADDLE FITTING AWARD at international academy of saddle fitters and — of course — diving into long, long discussions with saddle manufacturers.
My Certifications in saddle fitting:
In the end, I created my own ideal design,
with critically important details that bring better comfort for both horse and rider

It has always been my dream — to build a community of horse and nature lovers who respect their horses and love working with them.
That’s why I create content about my horses and plan to organize events.
In the future, my biggest dream is to move to a large, beautiful homestead and create a mini zoo with eco-tourism.
