Un-Natural Horsemanship

A symbiotic relationship between horse & human is profoundly “un-natural”...

and that’s what makes it work.

ABOUT

Un-Natural Horsemanship is not a method, doctrine, or school. It is an Idea: Both horse and human can be equally valued and worthy parts of a balanced partnership.

 

Our highest goal is to find a good feeling for ourselves and for our horses. Beyond that, it can be fun to see how far we can carry it together.

 

When the “how” we do everything leads us to a good feeling, the “what” we do just seems to show up.

Zak Maytum Custom Saddles

In my saddle work, I am emboldened with the desire to produce something that provides as much stability and comfort as possible for both parties.

A feeling of safety and comfort is central to a quality connection and the physical well-being of all.  I am additionally dedicated to offering aesthetics that feel balanced and cohesive in whatever style the customer prefers.

 

Many of my builds feature traditional styles and durability combined with modern saddle-fit information which is constantly updated as new studies emerge.  I strive to build high-quality, one-of-a-kind pieces that look and feel just right.

“Chiara and Zak have an amazing program that they tailor to match rider goals and, more importantly, your horse’s well-being. They were invaluable support in figuring out my gelding’s health issues, and that’s aside from the amazingly thorough horseback riding and general horsemanship lessons they offer. Cannot recommend them enough.”
