 Available
now from the BC College of Equine Therapy:
Dave Collins is the founder and principal
of the BC College of Equine Therapy in Vernon, British
Columbia, Canada. Dave has spent his entire life around
horses. For almost two decades, Dave has provided therapy
for people, horses and other animals. In 1995, Dave
founded the BC College of Equine Therapy, which offers
a two-year program to teach the fundamentals of Equine
Therapy.
Of the thousands of horses Dave has worked
with, ill-fitting saddles have been
a major contributor to movement problems, unsoundness
and training problems. It is through his research and
practical approach to saddle-fit problems that horses
and riders enjoy a better relationship.
A horse's back changes shape with age, fitness level,
weight, etc.
It's important for every rider to know
how to assess and achieve a proper fit.
This video offers both the English and
Western rider the tools to assess and correct
common saddle-fit problems.
