SMART Advisor: Åsa Hoffmann MA, LMFT, Auburn California USA

Åsa Hoffmann

In 2024 Åsa, was introduced to SMART Saddles thanks to an extremely hard to fit, high withered, big shouldered, sensitive backed thoroughbred. The change in him was quite shocking - and she was sold!

Adding ‘SMART Advisor’ to her list of qualifications, Åsa has SMART saddles available to fit and try in Auburn, California. Spending most days with both her own and clients’ horses, she loves learning and upping her game in the saddle.

With three horses of her own and a couple in training, she loves that she can use the same SMART Elite Jump and Dressage saddle for all her horses. Plus, she’s noticed that the communication is clearer without a hard frame to block her seat from the horse's back. Whether she's sitting on a horse for the first time or out on the cross-country course, SMART Saddles make both her and her horses comfortable and happy. An eventer, who also enjoys the thrill of hunting – Åsa has a soft spot for OTTB’s.

Åsa is a licensed psychotherapist, certified Gestalt Equine Psychotherapist, Centered Riding Level I Instructor and Harmony Horsemanship Level III clinician and holds certificates in Conscious Nutrition, and Sivananda Yoga.

Åsa focuses her work on equestrians, combining performance psychology, mental, physical and emotional wellness. Working with her is never just about winning a show, it's about loving your life and feeling fantastic about your ride, which is the REAL victory.
