Saddle Fit and Placement
When Dr. Katz started practicing on horses over 25 years ago, he became frustrated with the lack of available information about proper saddle fitting. In addition, there was a lack of saddle fitters and people able to flock and balance a saddle properly. Because of this, he took it upon himself to accumulate as much information as possible, read what was available, and start to work with saddles and saddle fitting. Soon after, Dr. Katz traveled to England to study with Master Saddler, David May. He has also took the foundations saddle fitting course offered by the Society of Master Saddlers from England.
