About Yvonne Neubert-Heberle

Yvonne Neubodt-Heberle is an expert in the field of horse saddle and back analysis, focusing on measuring the horse’s back using the EQUIscan system. She offers both precise analysis and personalized advice for the perfect saddle fit, making her a trusted contact for both horse and rider.

Career & Qualifications

  • Yvonne has been running a service business for some time now, specializing in horse back measurement, saddle consulting, and workshops.

  • At the same time, she holds the role of ‘Country Manager Iberia’ for EQUIscan, meaning she is responsible for market development in Spain and Portugal.

  • Her qualification includes a holistic approach: she combines technical expertise (e.g., surveying systems) with knowledge from areas like posture and balance training as well as riding for health.

  • She has her office, among other places, in Leutkirch (Germany) and works with local partners.

How We Work & What We Offer

Yvonne relies on a careful, data-driven approach:

  • With the EQUIscan topography system, the horse’s back is measured down to the millimeter, which allows not only a snapshot but also tracking over time during training, muscle development, or age-related changes.

  • Building on that, an individual analysis is done to see which saddle fit is best. The goal is to avoid tension, pressure points, and posture problems in the horse.

  • She supports both rider and horse holistically: A well-fitting saddle not only promotes the horse’s freedom of movement but also the rider’s seat and comfort. In this sense, the connection between horse, saddle, and rider is at the heart of it.

  • In addition, she offers seminars and training sessions on topics like saddle fitting, health in riding, and movement training.

Why their work is important

A saddle that doesn’t fit properly can cause significant problems, from muscle tension to limited mobility and even posture issues. Yvonne’s approach with EQUIscan allows for precise measurements and documents progress. This way, interventions can happen early if the shape of the back or muscles change.
