Saddle Fitting Matters
Saddle Fitting Consultation
Regular saddle fitting is essential, as a horse’s body can change over time due to age, training or condition, and ill-fitting saddle can lead to discomfort, behavioural issues and injury. We assess your horses shape, movement and musculature as well as the rider’s position to recommend or adjust a saddle that distributes weight evenly and avoids pressure points.
Routine Saddle Fitting
A routine saddle fitting service ensures that a saddle fits both horse and rider correctly, promoting comfort, performance and the long-term health of the animal.
Independent Saddle Advice
Independent saddle advice offers unbiased guidance to help riders choose the most suitable saddle for both horse and rider, without being tied to any specific brand or manufacturer. This impartial approach ensures decisions are made purely in the horse’s best interest, helping to promote comfort, performance and overall wellbeing whist avoiding the limitations of brand specific solutions.
New & Used Saddles
Offering both new and used saddles for sale provides riders with a range of options to suit different needs and budgets. New saddles deliver the latest designs, materials and custom fitting possibilities, whilst used saddles offer a more affordable alternative, without compromising on quality when carefully selected.
Saddle Templating
Templating a horse for a saddle fit involves taking precise measurements of a horse’s shape to ensure the saddle matches its unique conformation.
Using a flexible curve or wither gauge, a saddle fitter creates templates of the horse’s wither, back and shoulder area, which can then be compared against different saddle designs.
Saddle Repairs
An independent saddle fitter can carry out essential adjustments such as repairs, flocking, re-flocking, and gullet bar changes to keep a saddle fitting correctly over time. Flocking involves adjusting the wool inside the panels to ensure even weight distribution, while re-flocking replaces old or compacted wool to restore comfort and support. Gullet bar changes allow the width of certain saddles to be altered as a horse’s shape develops. Alongside general repairs, these services help maintain saddle balance, improve fit, and ensure both horse and rider remain comfortable and supported.
