Our Affiliated CDP Partners

​

Thank you for your interest in pursuing independent saddle-fitting education. We’re delighted to hear that you’ve been exploring our courses — we put a great deal of care into making them as practical, thorough, and accessible as possible.
 

At this time, our training programs are designed to provide high‑quality continuing education (CPD), professional development, and skill‑building opportunities; however, they do not currently lead to a formal certification. While we don’t offer a U.S.–based certification pathway through our own program, many students use our courses to strengthen their skills before pursuing certification through recognized international bodies or as the foundations for their own professional businesses.

 

That said, we are actively expanding our professional network, and we warmly welcome collaboration with other CPD providers, trainers, and accredited educational programs. If you represent a course, academy, or organization that would like to explore affiliation, cross‑listing of CPD hours, guest instruction, or joint educational opportunities, we would love to hear from you. Our goal is to support high standards in saddle fitting across disciplines by building a strong, interconnected community of educators.

​

Please feel free to reach out with questions — or, if you’re interested in partnering with us as a CPD provider, we’d be happy to discuss how we can work together to strengthen and diversify professional education in the field.
