Saddle Fitting

Saddle Fitting for Optimum Fit and Performance

A fitting saddle is vital. When correctly altered by a trained professional, the right fitted saddle gives both the horse and rider the comfort they need to perform at their best.

Certainly! Here's a refined version:

At EQ Saddlery, we understand that while anyone can place a rider on a saddle stand, it takes true expertise to help select the perfect saddle tailored to both the rider and their horse's unique conformation and movement. Our mission is to deliver impeccable saddle fits, catering to riders of all levels — from leisure riders to occasional competitors and seasoned professionals alike.

Why have your saddle fitted?

Saddle Fitting is an important part of horse maintenance to manage their wellbeing.

A correctly adjusted Saddle provides even distribution of the rider’s weight through even pressure of saddle panels along the horse’s back. 

The correct gullet profile to wither profile is the first step to ensure a correct fit. These factors combined with the correct placement of the saddle tree points to the back of the shoulder blade, provides stability and enables freedom of movement through the shoulder, making the saddle more comfortable for the horse.

Comfort for the horse is the key to unlocking its full potential for peak performance.

Not sure if your saddle fits?

Has your horse recently come back into work after a Winter Break? Has your horse gained weight with Spring grass? Are you finding that you are tilting forward or backwards, or just don’t feel right in the saddle? Is your horse not working properly or does he seem to be sore in the back?

If it’s been more than 6 months since your last saddle fit, or you’ve answered “Yes” to any of these questions, it’s likely to be time to book a Saddle Fit! Check out the amazing independent saddle fitters below.
