Amy Feineman grew up in an equestrian family in Colorado, USA. She started riding before she could walk, and has tried every discipline anyone ever offered her. This included dressage, jumping, eventing, competitive trail, and gaited horses. At age 17, Amy had a bad fall with her horse while jumping and sustained numerous injuries, requiring her to take a step back from riding. During her recovery period she helped evaluate and restart horses in hand for various rescues.
In 2017, Amy began apprenticing with Master Saddle Fitter Beverly Harrison. Amy also studied with Carol Patty of Capstone Saddlery, and completed her first WOW fitting course in 2018. In 2022 Amy passed her Society of Master Saddlers exams to become a Qualified Saddle Fitter.
As someone with experience handling physical limitations herself, and rehabilitating horses from myriad injuries, Amy knows first hand the value of a proper saddle fit. She is passionate about helping everyone get the best performance for their situation and budget. Amy has ridden in a WOW since 2016, when it proved the only saddle that relieved her sciatica pain and also fit her difficult to fit horse!
Amy and her family moved to Graz in the summer of 2021.

I have been a WOW Saddlefitter since February 2013, fulltime and passionate.
Before I took independent measurements of horse-backs with EQUISCAN.
I am located nearby Hamburg, but come to... Hannover, Göttingen, Kassel, Braunschweig, Detmold, Rostock, Bremen, all over Schleswig Holstein and Hamburg and more.
WOW to me is the most innovative and exciting way of saddle fitting. There are so many options to create a perfect fitting for both, horse and rider, to increase athletic-performance, and health. After all this time I still can't get enough of watching my customer having fun riding with their brand new fit.

My name is Mailie Johnson, and I have carried the title of Master Saddler since the year 2000.
My expertise in English saddles comes from my extensive studies in Germany. During my journeyman years I dove into the world of Western Saddles, learning to build them in Northern California.
In 2007, I started my own saddlery business and was introduced to WOW Saddles in 2010. At the beginning of 2011, I joined WOW Saddles as a certified saddle fitter, and as you can see today, I am still here. Why? Because WOW is the system I had always hoped for. It fits like a glove for the horse and rider. The WOW Saddle allows me to help both live happier and healthier lives.

Irma Wormgoor
Olde Hietmoat Zadelpasservice
My name is Irma Wormgoor and I have been a full-time saddle fitter for 18 years now; horses are my passion. Besides the fact that they are beautiful animals, I am very fascinated by how a horse is put together and how it moves. I like to contribute to ensuring that the horse performs as well as possible, without forgetting its well-being. We want the best performance from our horses, and it is therefore essential that they can do the work we ask of them as comfortably as possible.
I am a qualified saddle fitter with both the MSFC in the Netherlands and the SMS (Qualified Saddle Fitter) in England. I have been working full-time for years on improving saddle comfort for both horse and rider. The horse world is continuously developing; That is why I continue to train in the field of saddles, but also in the field of anatomy and biomechanics of horse and rider.
In addition to being a saddle fitter, I am also a (medical) fitness trainer and specialize in rider posture in the saddle and the fitness of the rider. My strength is in the total of horse – saddle – rider.
Fit next to your horse, fit on your horse!

I am an SMS qualified Master Saddler and Saddle Fitter. I started my journey into saddlery in 2003 at Walsall College, having just completed a degree in Fine Art in Bristol, it was a cross between my two favourite things, horses and sculpture, with a good dose of science applied! After training in saddle, bridle and harness making, I naturally moved into fitting as my career evolved.
I enjoy working my two horses, who keep me tuned in to the perspective of the rider, as well as helping me to switch off occasionally!

Sue lives in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia and horses have been intrinsic in her life since she
was a 5 year old.
She first discovered the saddles at the WOW Australia trade stand at ‘Equitana’ in Melbourne in
2010. WOW Aust fitter, Julia McLean arranged a visit to South Australia with her range of demo
saddles for her to try. There was no turning back!
The response in SA was overwhelming resulting in the need for a fitter in the area.
Sue had been involved in the equestrian community for many years through Equestrian Australia as a
competitor and then as a National and FEI official. She decided that training as a WOW fitter would
be a wonderful adjunct to her equine experience and has since established a client base of
enthusiastic WOW saddle advocates in SA.
She loves to follow the progress of her clients who range from FEI Dressage, Eventers and
Showjumpers to pleasure riders.
