Hi, Iā€™m Aria Tarras.

Horses have been my passion since I was six years old. I did a little bit of everything from barrel racing to hunter/jumpers before I settled on competitive 3 day eventing. Through my riding journey and learning the ropes of eventing, I came to realize that we humans ask a lot of our horses. And that they deserve fitting tack so they can comfortably perform what we ask of them. I started with little to no knowledge of saddle fit, but I knew that I wanted my horses to be comfortable and never be hindered by something that could easily be fixed.

I started my saddle fitting journey my final year of college as an intern with the previous County Rep in the MN/WI area. After graduation, I had the amazing opportunity to work under her for 2 years, getting to learn the ropes and develop the skills necessary to help owners and their horses. After those 2 years, the role of County Rep got passed down to me. I am now a Master Saddlers Association certified fitter and am pursuing further education from the Society of Master Saddlers. I also regularly attend lectures and seminars on biomechanics and nutrition.
