At Ridin' High, we believe that exceptional horse care starts with attention to the details--and saddle fit is a very important detail.

This week, we were incredibly fortunate to have Amanda Smith Cross, a nationally respected, certified saddle fitter spend many hours evaluating our horses and helping us optimize their saddle setups. Every adjustment was made with the comfort, health, and wellbeing of our horses in mind, while also ensuring that our riders have the support they need to ride safely and effectively.

A properly fitted saddle helps prevent pressure points, soreness, restricted movement, and discomfort. It is one of the key best practices in responsible horse care and directly impacts both horse and rider performance.

Amanda (Rider’s Emporium) is among the most highly trained professionals in her field, having received extensive education in Great Britain and completed rigorous certification examinations. She is a Registered Qualified Saddle Fitter through the Society of Master Saddlers. The Society is one of only two Saddle Fitting Certifications worldwide that are equivalent to a university degree. Amanda is the only trained fitter in Tennessee with this level of education and experience! She works with horses and riders across the country and is widely respected for her expertise.

We are especially grateful that she donated thousands of dollars in professional services to Ridin' High and took the time to educate our volunteers, staff, and riders along the way. Her willingness to share her knowledge helps us continue raising the standard of care for every horse in our program.

Thank you, Amanda!

Calling all established volunteers!

Tomorrow, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, we have a wonderful learning opportunity as Amanda Smith Cross, a certified saddle fitter, visits Ridin' High. We are SO grateful that Amanda is graciously donating her high-end saddle fitting expertise and skills to make sure our therapy horses have the most comfortable saddle setups!

Stop by when you can to observe, ask questions, and learn more about proper saddle fit and how it impacts a horse's comfort, movement, and overall well-being. This is a great chance to expand your horsemanship knowledge and see professional saddle fitting in action.

We hope to see you there!

There’s something incredible about watching young people roll up their sleeves and work hard for the benefit of others.

That's what happened today when a group of dedicated teenagers--Austin, Kaeden, Sophie, and Ramsay--spent hours reworking Fancy's stall so we could install stall mats. The project involved removing old footing, leveling the surface, and preparing the stall for its new mats--a job that required determination, teamwork, muscles, and plenty of sweat!

Matted stalls provide significant benefits for our horses. They offer better cushioning for joints, improve a horse's comfort while resting, save money on bedding, and make stalls much easier to keep clean.

We also want to offer a big shout out to Cindy D. for sponsoring the $500 cost of this stall improvement for therapy horse, Fancy. Your generosity is helping provide a safer and more comfortable home for our horses.

Would you like to help us continue this project? We are seeking sponsors for additional stalls at $500 each, which covers the materials necessary. The good news? Every sponsored stall directly improves the comfort and well-being of the horses in our care.

Thank you to our hardworking teens and to everyone who helps make these improvements possible!
