Holly Barnett is the founder and CEO of August Equine. August Equine takes a whole horse approach to saddle fit, combining the knowledge of saddle fit with anatomy, conformation, biomechanics, and the nervous system.

For over 20 years Holly has studied and transformed equestrian partnerships of all levels and disciplines. She specializes in dressage, eventing, and jumping as well as western and endurance riding. Holly’s innate ability to both spot and resolve performance blocks, as well as temper the nervous system, harness the foundations of movement, and optimize the fit of equipment, enables clients to create quantum leaps in their riding performance.

In this episode we discuss the importance of proper tack fit, the common signs of an ill-fitting saddle, the factors that can affect saddle fit, and so much more.
