  • Sizing Saddle Program

    The Sizing Saddle Program is designed for all equine bodyworkers, veterinarians, farriers, and trainers. The program requires students to complete their CEE certification before enrolling in the Sizing Saddle Program which includes the Sizing Saddle which is purchased from a specific sponsoring saddlery, as well as the inclusion of a course that teaches students how to adjust the saddle. The Sizing Saddles allow you to adjust the saddle for your clients and their horses, as well as horses you may be rehabbing, to showcase how a horse (and rider) should be positioned and move with the right tack without the need for a tree machine, or flocking changes. You also have the option to simply use it for your own horses!

  • Certified Saddle Ergonomist

    The CSE program encompasses all saddle adjustments (tree machine, 3 Point Gullet, flocking, shimming, etc) and is the most in-depth course available. This is only available for students who have a participating saddlery local to them or are able to travel to North America/Germany as part of their training. a CSE is able to fit and adjust English & Western saddles with and without using a tree machine, as well as training in shimming, flocking adjustments/replacement, saddle repairs, panel replacement, and more. This is our most comprehensive course.  

    The CSE course is not publicly available and requires students to submit an application and go through an interview process to determine suitability for the program.

    Applicable candidates have the option to work with a sponsoring saddlery, that may sponsor all or part of the CSE Tuition. Students who wish to pursue the CSE designation without working directly with a saddlery are responsible for covering the full course & travel costs out of pocket.
