Approved LM Saddle Fitting Consultants
All LM Consultants are self employed trained and approved by LM saddles. They manage their own client base and relationships. Please feel free to contact any of the consultants to discuss your needs.
Only Listed Consultants are supported by LM Saddles and operate under our code of conduct
Each LM Consultant has undertaken comprehensive training in holistic and remedial saddle-fitting under LM saddles. As we work holistically, this covers an understanding of Equine Biomechanics and anatomy in relation to saddle-fitting and healthy posture. All our consultants are also qualified in flocking either under the SMS or the Cumbria School of Saddlery and hold their own individual qualifications in different areas of the equine industry from classical training, horsemanship, behavior, human and equine bodywork to name a few. At LM, we are passionate about our continued professional development and host annual CPDs to continue our growth and knowledge for the good of the horse and rider.
We advise reading the T&Cs on our website before booking an appointment with a LM Consultant.

Lavinia Mitchell
Lavinia has been a Saddle Fitting Consultant since 1992, working with horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes, breeds and disciplines. The approach to fitting (including remedial saddling), together with the saddle designs that LM Saddle Consultants use, help horses acquire and keep good healthy muscle development. This in turn benefits their general comfort, well-being, and performance.
Over the years Lavinia personal interests with her horses have changed from competing at Endurance Riding, to Equine Behaviour and psychology, Classical Riding and training, along with what is generally known as ‘Natural Horsemanship; though she prefers to think of it just as good ‘Horsemanship’ skills. She has a keen interest in all aspects of riding, training and welfare of the horse, both physical, mental and emotional. This is shared by all LM Approved Consultants that Lavinia works closely with.
Lavinia would be happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.
Please note: Lavinia has recently retired from Consulting and is not taking on any new clients. Lavinia is focusing her time on the delivery of training for new LM Saddles consultants around the UK and Europe.
