Saddle Fitting

We've all worn a pair of shoes that didn't quite fit right. Or felt how pain/discomfort somewhere in our body makes us move with less than optimal mechanics. 

​

Imagine being asked to perform or carry weight while your equipment dug into you.

​

"Poor saddle fit," are words all horse people dread hearing, but it's important to know how well your saddle fits both you and your horse. 

​

How to know if you need a saddle fit assessment:

  • Your horse won't sit still while being saddled

  • Loss of muscle

  • Sensitivity in their back when brushed or touched

  • Saddle doesn't stay centered when riding

  • Dry spots 

  • Your horse twitches under saddle

  • Biting at sides while riding

  • Bucking 

  • Sores 

  • Wearing

  • Flightiness or anxiety under saddle

  • Sluggish movements under saddle

  • Stiff turns under saddle, or not stepping under
