The Institute has developed and uses a variety of educational materials for these programs.  Photographs of damaged horses are used for demonstration in the classroom.  Horses are used during the hands-on portion of the classes.  Various texts are used covering anatomy; the major text used is Understanding the Horses’ Back by Sara Wasche.

In the near future the Institute will be publishing About the Saddle and the Horse as its basic literature on the problems of saddle fit.  About the Saddle and the Horse was written by Prudence Heaney of Two Time Tack.  She has been working in the field of saddle fitting for fourteen years and works closely with a Master Saddler.
