Manna Chertov prides herself on helping horses feel more comfortable, sound and successful in their rides by correctly fitting their saddles.
 
As a born-and-raised Sonoma County horse girl, she found her calling in saddle-fitting as a way to provide instant gratification to horses and riders as well as enable long-term proper muscle development through correcting saddle fit. She is a trained Master Saddle Fitter and the Northern California Agent for County Saddlery with over 15,000 hours of hands-on training and experience. Manna has honed her craft providing saddle solutions that help horse and rider communicate in symmetry. Her constant desire to grow, learn and relieve pain keeps her curious in every appointment, giving 100% to each person and horse she works with. Manna uses a variety of tools to attain optimum saddle fit. She evaluates both statically and dynamically then advises on proper tree fit, saddle symmetry and balance, shimming, flocking adjustments, and custom saddle orders.

Her childhood riding career began saddleless where she was expected to find her rhythm and balance with her horse without any support or reliance on equipment. She later moved into dressage work where she found the support of a local Master Saddle Fitter who showed her that balance and connection can still exist with the support of the right equipment. As an adult, Manna continues to ride and enjoy her Thoroughbred, Romeo, and help Northern California equestrians attain the saddle fit she values.
