Megan Cooper Peter Horobin Saddlery Certified Saddle Fitter

Hi everyone,
You may have noticed the name change on this page instead of closing the page Leslie has handed it over to me and I thought it was time I introduced myself.
I’m Megan and I am based in the Wimmera/Northern Grampians region, I have been an Equine Myofunctional therapist for the last 10yrs and more recently adding Bit Fitting and Saddle Fitting to my skill set.
I have 2 Horses Nugget and Slash and have been riding in PH StrideFree saddles since 2019, I’m very passionate about these saddles as I have seen 1st hand how they can change a horse and this is why when the opportunity came up to become a Peter Horobin Certified Saddle Fitter and promote this brand I jumped at it and am loving meeting lots of Leslie’s existing clients and new clients to the StrideFree family.
Areas that I am serving include:
Western Ballarat, Horsham, Stawell, Hamilton, Tyrrendarra Portland, Mt Gambier, Penola, Naracoorte Bordertown, Nhill, Donald St Arnaud, Bendigo and everywhere in between.
If you’re not sure if I’m in your travelling area please just ask and if not I’ll put you in contact with the right person.

Just letting you all know that towards the end of May 2026 this page will be deleted, I just can't get my thumbs and saddle fitting technique comfortable, I'm a perfectionist for the reasons that a horse, saddle and rider requires and for the horses ongoing welfare under saddle. I still get many enquiries and questions, to which I then pass the info onto Megan Cooper Equine (Horsham, Ballarat, Bendigo & beyond) or Maddie@Free Move Equine, (Werribee, Geelong Surf Coast, Warrnambool, Colac, Enfield and beyond), or the PHS head office. So please note these lovely mentioned people are super skilled and passionate to help horses and their riders. Both Megan and Maddie have other sound Equine qualifications, hence why they are taking over.
I am so grateful to the 400+ saddle fit clients who entrusted me with their horse and saddle fit woes and triumphs. I absolutely appreciate and thank all of you! I have shared some amazing moments with my clients and their horses and some absolute heartbreak with them too, where I would never deny a shoulder for them to cry on. Even having to say goodbye to two of my own horses and throwing myself more into helping humans to help their horses.
& so this not an absolute goodbye, there's just no point keeping this dedicated PHS page going. You'll only be able to find me via my mobile or the New Email listed on this page and of course at my original work for over 30yrs at the Animal Naturopathic Medicine Educatum (ANME) where I am just as comfortable helping humans to help their animals and working on some other projects to do with horses and saddles.
Wishing everyone good health, love & happiness! Hugs and kisses to your beautiful horses 🐎 ❤️
