My Story

My name is Renske, and I have over 20 years of experience in the equestrian world. Originally from the Netherlands, I grew up competing in dressage and working with young horses, while also being active in show jumping, eventing, and endurance. Throughout the years, I worked with many horses showing unusual or challenging behavior — not wanting to move forward, throwing their head up, bucking, hollowing their back… sounds familiar?

Over time, I discovered that in many cases, the root of these issues wasn’t attitude or training, but discomfort caused by an ill-fitting saddle. That realization changed everything for me.

Eager to truly understand the biomechanics behind horse and rider, I studied at the Saddle Fit 4 Life® Academy, becoming a Certified Equine Ergonomist. I continued my education with the Master Saddlers Association Certified Saddle Fitter program.

With this knowledge and experience, I support both horses and riders in making informed choices that positively impact comfort, performance, and long-term well-being. My goal is to help you understand what your horse is telling you — because once you know, you’ll never look at saddle fit the same way again.
