Lavinia Mitchell

Lavinia has been a Saddle Fitting Consultant since 1992, working with horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes, breeds and disciplines. The approach to fitting (including remedial saddling), together with the saddle designs that LM Saddle Consultants use, help horses acquire and keep good healthy muscle development. This in turn benefits their general comfort, well-being, and performance.


Over the years Lavinia personal interests with her horses have changed from competing at Endurance Riding, to Equine Behaviour and psychology, Classical Riding and training, along with what is generally known as ‘Natural Horsemanship; though she prefers to think of it just as good ‘Horsemanship’ skills. She has a keen interest in all aspects of riding, training and welfare of the horse, both physical, mental and emotional. This is shared by all LM Approved Consultants that Lavinia works closely with.


Lavinia would be happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.


Please note: Lavinia has recently retired from Consulting and is not taking on any new clients.  Lavinia is focusing her time on the delivery of training for new LM Saddles consultants around the UK and Europe.


Mark Walters

BHS Accredited Professional Coach. BHS II SC SM DR, Brand Ambassador for LM Saddles and Shropshire consultant.


I am always grateful for the opportunities that I have been given and the knowledge my trainers and mentors have shared over the years as this has allowed me to grow as a trainer and now I can pay it forward.


I enjoy competing which down to some amazing horses have allowed me to compete at National championships and travel over Europe, but my main passion is training.


Having been in the industry for over 20 years now and training horses and riders from grass roots through to advanced levels, I am always looking for innovative and mindful products to help with both my own and my clients development. Time and time again “the saddle” would be a key piece of equipment which was not supporting the development of the horse and rider and then I met Lavinia.


For over 10 years I have worked with LM saddles as the philosophy and quality of the products are excellent and I ride all my horses in them. I can only recommend what I have tried and tested myself. I felt that learning to fit and adjust the saddles was the next step.


I run a livery and training yard in Aston Eyre, Shropshire where we cater for all ages and abilities but I have a particular passion for rehabilitation and project horses as well as young horse starting and for these horses in particular having the right saddle from the beginning is key. My goal is always to produce a balanced horse (and rider) both physically and mentally and then whatever outfit we choose to dress ourselves can be done and enjoyed.


Mark is happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. His yard is based at Corvedale Equestrian, Cloversley (Brickyard Farm), Aston Eyre, Bridgnorth,

Shropshire, WV16 6XD
