Testimonials from Our Graduates and Clients
“Took the Saddle Fitting Module and it opened my eyes to so many underlying issues I would have never been able to point out and understand myself. It has made me a better rider and a better therapist. I’m able to help more people with an extensive amount of problems that I didn’t think was possible just due to how the saddle was made/how it fits/etc. Have never looked at saddles the same way since and my horses, along with other horses I’m able to help on the way, are so much happier because of it. Take this course! You will never regret it! Thank you so much, Brenda!”

“Thank you for believing in me as much as you did. Without the push and your ability to make me see that I do for a fact know my ‘stuff’, I don’t think I would have made it this far. Just wanted to thank you for the encouragements, the pushes and the body shakes that were needed. You are a great teacher and I can’t wait to see how NTTI takes off over the years”
-Courtney, Certified Equine Sports Therapy student
