Meet the Gal behind Podium Saddles Up North
Teresa Fett has almost 14,000 AERC competition miles in LD's, Endurance, and has completed multiple 100's.
AERC #M20655 and her complete ride history can be found at AERC.org
As she started to plan for 100 mile events she knew she needed a something better for the long hours in the saddle. In 2016 she purchased her first Podium and found it to be "ABSOLUTELY" the most comfortable saddle she's ridden. Their lightweight took a lot less effort on her shoulders/arms when saddling, saddles were super durable, and they gave her horse a lighter load to carry.
Since then the horses have competed in over 5,000 Podium miles. A Champion TT was her original "go to" model but she currently is riding the Champion Desert GT. At the 2023 AERC National in Kennard, Texas she used this saddle on both horses. Finished the 50 in 8th place and the 100 in 12th place with all A's at the final vet check. Two horses with different body shapes and no sore backs, cinch sores, or rub areas, Podium fits a wide variety of body shapes. At rides you may see her on different models as she tries some of the demos to learn about the high points of each saddle.
Ride Safe, Ride Podium!

Teresa's favorite thing about her Podium saddles? "They fit both my horses!"
Teresa Fett
My Podium has been comfortable for me and my horses riding throughout the Midwest, Eastern, and Mountain regions.
