I began my career in saddle fitting after watching my mentor thoroughly, thoughtfully, and safely saddle fit my growing thoroughbred gelding for over 7 years. 

During this time I built my career as a Certified Surgical First Assistant at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and worked part-time for a local FEI dressage rider, trainer, and instructor.

Recently, I decided to change my career and pursue my passion of helping horse owners support both their own needs as well as the needs of their horse.  Ann Jacobson with Jacobson’s Saddlery graciously took me under her wing and has spent countless hours teaching me the ropes of this intricate career, and continues to do so!  

In addition to working with a mentor, have begun my education through the North American Saddlery School, in conjunction with the Society of Master Saddlery, and have become an SMS Trainee.  Over the course of the next few years, with the education and support of my mentor, I will continue pursuing becoming a Qualified Saddle Fitter. 

In the meantime I have the great pleasure of working with a variety of horse owners and their horses to find well-fitting saddles to bring out the best in both horse and rider.
