9 - Danny Kroetch Seminar & Saddle Fitting
The saddle-fitter Danny Kroetch is a master saddle-fitter who travels all over North America, Europe and Asia fitting saddles to high performance horses
and riders. Currently his company DK Saddlery is the largest exporter of English saddles to Europe. At the 2004 Olympic Games three riders from two
different countries competed in his DK Freedom Saddle. Mette Rosencrantz won the $25,000 Grand Prix Invitational riding Basquewille in a DK Freedom
saddle at the Las Vegas World Cup April 20, 2007. Danny is currently heading a large research study on saddle fit at the University of Utrecht in Holland
and is now the only saddle manufacturer ever to be published in the Veterinary Journal.
Danny believes that when fitting a saddle to horse and rider it is important to include the Circle of Influence. Like a wagon wheel the circle of influence is
comprised of a number of supporting “spokes” each spoke represents an influence on the horses well being including; rider, coach, veterinarian, farrier,
saddle fitter and alternative medicine practitioners such as massage therapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists. Although the wheel will remain
functional when missing one or more spokes…in order to ensure top performance each area must be optimized. When fitting a saddle to a horse and
rider pair, Danny must ensure that there are no other areas that may be effecting the horses ability to do his job.
FREE seminar on August 9th at 8 AM
held at Rivendale Farm
(will include demonstrations
in Western, Jumping and Dressage.)
Individual saddle fittings begin at 11 AM
