Chantal St. Pierre & Colette

 What to do when you love your horse, but would rather ride bareback than have a bad fit? Canadian Chantal St. Pierre, Kinesiologist and Physical Education Professor, is thrilled to have found saddles that make so much biomechanical sense for her Trakehner/Dutch WB mare Colette.

She says, “The change in my mare is unbelievable in EQ! I have had her for 6 years she has always had good movement but now it is huge!! She is 17 hands but relatively narrow and everyone has always said how big she is but I never felt her to be as big as everyone says! Now she feels huge!! In three weeks she has already changed physically --  you can see her back is already more muscular. She is a spooky horse, her go to move being bolting (completely shutdown like I am no longer there bolting)... I hate bolting I prefer bucking ... She is still spooky (it’s part of her charm I guess) but since she has had this saddle she hasn’t bolted and she always stays aware and with me. I am excited about her again, the bolting was getting worse and making our rides unpleasant. I am very grateful to have found this saddle.

As a kinesiologist and physical education professor, I work with anatomy and physiology everyday and these saddles  make so much biomechanical sense to me. I am just so happy to have found out about them.”
