Welcome to another episode of Friends on Horses Podcast with Emma Kjelson of Dynamic Equine.
In this episode, Emma sits down with Katrina Chapman — founder of Lovas Equestrian and host of The Unbridled Equestrian Podcast — for a thoughtful, heart-led conversation about something that affects nearly every horse:
Saddle fit.
But not in the way you’ve likely heard it discussed before.
Katrina shares her story — what led her to create Lovas Equestrian and why she was driven to design saddles that are highly adjustable and adaptable to different horse and rider bodies. Together, Emma and Katrina explore:
• Signs your saddle may not truly fit your horse • How dramatically a horse’s body can change over time • The hidden ways poor saddle fit influences behavior and performance • Why fitting the saddle to the rider matters just as much • How rider balance impacts the horse’s physical and emotional state • What a holistic, kind approach to saddle fitting really looks like
This conversation brings clarity to topics many equestrians were never taught — and invites you to rethink how equipment, movement, and emotional well-being are deeply connected.
If you care about ethical training, science-based horsemanship, and supporting your horse’s comfort and longevity, this episode will expand how you see saddle fit forever.
