Olathe, KS (July 12, 2010) – Debbie Witty, the owner and President of Trilogy Saddles and Performance Saddlery, recently shared her expertise on saddle fitting at Rebecca Rigdon’s Dressage Symposium in Kansas. Witty, a qualified fitter from the Society of Master Saddlers of England, not only spoke to the clinicians but also reflocked 12 saddles during the clinic.
“I’ve been working with Debbie for over 10 years and she did an excellent job during her lecture at our symposium,” said Rigdon, a USEF ‘r’ dressage judge and USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist. “Debbie brought a great deal of education to the Kansas City area during her lecture on proper saddle fitting and the problems you can have when your saddle doesn’t fit correctly. I believe in proper saddle fit and wish that Debbie could travel the country educating all riders and trainers about proper saddle fit. Our sport would benefit greatly from her knowledge.”
Rigdon, who originates from Kansas but now lives in San Diego, California, trains with Steffen and Shannon Peters. “We held a five-day symposium with several lecturers. I was happy that Debbie was able to speak at the symposium. Even if you have a fantastic saddle for the horse and rider, it would mean nothing without well-educated, attentive, personable, saddle fitters. Trilogy’s customer service is first class,” Rigdon said.
