Saddle Fitting

 

Our Professional Saddle Fitting Service offers sound, honest advice. We understand the requirements of both horse and rider; cater to all riders from beginner to advanced and to all disciplines, sizes, shapes and budgets.

We have many new and used saddles in our store for you to choose from.  However, we highly recommend you do not buy a saddle before you have had a professional assessment of you and your horse. We are dedicated to making sure you and your horse are comfortable.

SADDLE FITTING FAQs

What does a saddle fitting service include?

A detailed phone interview with the rider prior to the onsite appointment. This allows our saddle fitter to identify saddles which should be brought out to the onsite appointment.

An onsite appointment.  During this appointment, the horse and rider are measured (templated), saddles will be evaluated with the rider on the horse and off and an explanation of the types of saddles recommended and an explanation of  why the confirmation of your horse requires a specific saddle. The placement of the saddle, padding choices and girth choice are discussed in detail.

Test rides in the saddles prior to purchase. We encourage your trainer/coach to be present at the onsite appointment to view the rider position in the saddle on the horse.

A follow up call. If you are concerned with anything about your saddle, the saddle fitter will discuss your concerns with you and determine the best course of action.

What are the benefits of getting the correct fit?

  • Fitting the rider in the correct saddle often corrects long term positional problems experienced by the rider.
