Another absolutely gorgeous day out in Tryon for Duke 2 with the Seaborne Farm crew, this time helping the guys that were here for both weeks. Really had a blast coming to the shows, might have to start doing this more often….

We’ve been working on trot transitions. She has a tendency to throw her right haunch to the right when I ask for the trot so I’ve been working hard to keep it underneath her and show her that I’m not restricting her ability to keep it under her and to track straight by really making sure I give her that inside rein—I make it very obvious—and her last upward, trot, and downward transition was her most correct, balanced, and through her whole body yet.

Absolute gorgeous day in Tryon for Duke 1 and getting the crew at Seaborne and Gables Run prepped for the weekend! Hopefully it’s just as beautiful for week 2!

Who the hell is fitting your saddle? And more importantly, what actually qualifies them to do it?

Welcome to the premiere of Unsaddled & Uncorked™ — candid conversations and live Q&A about horses, horsemanship, and the equine industry.

For our first episode, we're tackling saddle fitting. Qualifications, certifications, accountability, what horse owners should expect, and some of the industry realities that deserve a little more conversation.

No polished presentations. No carefully scripted answers. Just candid conversations, a glass of w**e, and the opportunity to ask the questions you've always wanted answered.

🍷 So who's behind the w**eglass?

I'm Tara Mebane, a certified saddle fitter, equine bodyworker, and lifelong horsewoman with more than a decade of experience in the saddle industry. My work brings together saddle fitting, equine biomechanics, bodywork, and riding—giving me a perspective that goes well beyond whether a saddle fits a horse's back.

I've seen a lot, learned a lot, and have plenty of opinions. And I'm not particularly interested in pretending otherwise. 😉

🐴 Got a question? Let's hear it!

Drop your saddle fitting questions in the event discussion before we go live. Curious about qualifications? Confused by conflicting advice? Wondering whether something your fitter told you actually makes sense?

Ask away! We'll pull questions from the discussion to address during the show, and you'll also be able to participate through Facebook Live comments.

🍷 Pour yourself something good.
🐴 Bring your questions.
🔥 Let's talk.

More Than a Saddle Fitter.

Most of you who’ve worked with me already know that I have a hard time looking at just one piece of the puzzle. 😂

You might call me out for a saddle fitting, but I’m also watching how your horse moves, how you ride, and what might be going on physically that influences what we’re seeing.

That’s not something new. It’s how I’ve approached my work for years.

What is new is that I’ve been reworking my services to give clients more flexibility in how we address those things, whether it’s one appointment, a series of visits, or ongoing support.

Because at the end of the day, I want you to get the most out of the time and money you’re investing in your horse.

One professional. Multiple perspectives. Your horse at the center.
