Allen Photographic Guides
"Saddle Fitting" is a comprehensive guide to choosing and fitting the most important item of your tack. The book contains simple descriptions and illustrated procedures which have, over the years, helped both professional saddle fitters and horse owners at all levels. It is meant to complement, but not replace, the skills of an experienced saddle fitter, whose advice should always be sought.
About the Author:
Kay Humphries has spent most of her life with horses and was taught the art of saddle fitting at an early age. A car crash in 1971 put an end to her own hopes for a riding career and heralded a major change of direction. With her husband and friends she bought a saddlery shop and originally employed others to fit customers' saddles. But people began to ask for Kay in person, and now, by popular demand, she is fully occupied travelling and fitting saddles all over the world. She has lectured on saddle fitting in the UK, Europe and the USA. Kay currently specializes in saddles for horses with severe remedial problems, working closely with vets and chiropractors.

 | Enlightened Equitation Book
The Enlightened Equitation book has become a bestseller since its first release. Filled with detailed practical help that is jargon free and will help to cure many of the common problems that riders develop (often through no fault of their own).
The book challenges many of the accepted ways of learning to ride; showing that what people are commonly taught is often counterproductive and leads to confusion of the rider and horse. There are lots of popular phrases in riding like 'inside leg to outside hand' and 'sitting deep' which are bandied around by riders and instructors and often understood by neither. Heather's book shows you exactly what to do, without mystique.
Profusely illustrated with riders and horses of all shapes, sizes and abilities, the many before and after shots show what can be achieved by application of the principles explained in the book.
