Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider - 4 hour EDUCATIONAL DVD set
Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider DVD wins at EQUUS Film Festival
Durham, CT—Mouse Hole Farm Productions announces that their Advanced Equine Studies DVD Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider, Including the Anatomy of the Back, Medical Problems, and Therapies was awarded Best Training/Educational Program of 2016 at the EQUUS Film Festival held this past weekend in New York City. This makes two awards in two years for Advanced Equine Studies and Mouse Hole Farm Productions as their Horse’s Respiratory System DVD won in the same category in 2015.
Producer Andrea Steele says, “I was so honored to accept the award on behalf of our entire team at Advanced Equine Studies. The people behind the EQUUS Film Festival put the spotlight on equestrian films and video projects like ours annually in November. The festival attracts horse people from all over the world who come to highlight what they do. There are awards in an array of categories, including TV commercials, music videos, training/education DVDs, documentaries, and full-length feature films. The common thread is a celebration of the horse. It’s a fascinating event and an excellent opportunity to meet new colleagues.”
Steele says she produced the Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider DVD because buying a saddle is a daunting task for every rider. Advanced technology in saddle design has brought so many new products to the marketplace that most riders can’t process what the different design options mean for them and their horse—and buying the same saddle as your trainer or favorite professional rider uses is usually not the best plan. When you think about the cost of a saddle, watching this awarding-winning DVD makes good sense and will point even the most experienced rider in the right direction.
Saddle designer Ron Friedson teaches viewers how to narrow the vast array of saddles down to a limited number that will be appropriate for each horse and rider team. He provides specific criteria to take the mystery out of the decision-making process.
Dr. Wade Tenney of the Cummings Schools of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University discusses the anatomy of the back and explains the effects of poor saddle fit on back health. He further demonstrates ways to build your horse’s topline to better support the saddle.
Abigail Nemec, director of the equine program at Post University, and trainer Mark Rarick contribute their expertise, making Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider the success it has become.
