Matt grew up with horses in Reno, Nevada. When he was 12, he decided to become an equine veterinarian. He spent 11 summers working as a back-country guide at McGee Creek and Mammoth Lakes Pack Outfits, where he met his wife Tiffany (who is now a hospital technician at Steinbeck Equine). Matt enjoys the balance of time in the field seeing horses where they live, and the challenging lameness and diagnostic imaging cases he sees in the clinic.

With over 20 years experience saddle fitting, decades of coaching and a lifetime in the professional horse industry, Kathryn Sullivan-Butt brings a wealth of knowledge to the “art and science” of saddle fitting. Experience that is backed up with scientifically based saddle fitting qualifications and training in Europe, the US, the UK and Australia - including but not limited to - the prestigious Society of Master Saddler’s fitting qualification. 

Kathryn understands the importance of supplying and fitting saddles that optimise the bio-mechanics, comfort, and performance of both horse and rider. The greater the depth of knowledge, the greater the recognition that “no one brand” will suit every horse and rider.
