Saddlepoint

Saddlepoint is a riding and saddle-services practice in the Oldenburg district, led by Antje Rüscher. Its work focuses on bringing rider, saddle, and horse into better balance, with attention to the physical wellbeing of both horse and rider. Rüscher offers saddle consultation, fitting, and sales, along with saddles and related accessories. The practice emphasizes that a saddle forms the connection between horse and rider: an unsuitable fit can disrupt that relationship and contribute to lasting physical problems.

Saddlepoint also provides body-balance training based on DILBA and Biomechanically Correct Riding (BKR). This training addresses imbalances, asymmetries, tension, and movement restrictions that may affect how riders sit and move, and can in turn influence their horses. For riders seeking to develop physical abilities that are difficult to improve in the saddle, the practice offers fitness and functional training as a complement to riding lessons. Saddlepoint takes a holistic approach, recognizing that saddle fit alone cannot resolve issues arising from training or physical limitations.
