This is a great picture! “ my saddle is pinching at the top so I must need a wider tree “ is the number one mistake in fitting a saddle. Saddles that are too wide sit too low on the horse and steal your clearance and effect your balance. Get the tree shape and width correct is the way to a perfect fit.

Something a little different today for a long standing client.
The Bates swinging fender saddle, Bates Versa and the Wintec stock saddle. Both designed for great comfort and stability.

Fancy trying something different? Then drop me a DM and i will do my best to accommodate your needs. 😀

6 reasons to get your saddle checked!!

1. Behaviour changes
Suddenly gone from saint to spicy?
Check the top 3: Saddle → Back → Teeth

2. Weight change
Rug fitting differently? Girth on new holes?
Your saddle fit will have changed too.

3. Change of season
Winter breaks, summer work, spring/autumn transitions can all affect shape.

4. After time off
Time off = muscle changes. Always worth checking before restarting work.

5. You are riding differently
Maybe you're suddenly leaning back? Or your instructor is telling you to sit differently? The saddle being out of balance affects you too.

6. Not checked in the last 12 months
Even the most experienced riders benefit from a professional second opinion. It could save you a fortune on physio!

Get in touch to get yours checked :)

I definitely recommend these saddle pads. They are shaped beautifully and really compliment a good saddle fit.
Also the bridles are just amazing 🤩

Its getting to that time of year already. I share this every year as it really is worth read 😀

Defiantly worth a read. This is something, as a saddle fitter, you come across very often :)

Correct saddle fit is fundamental to equine comfort, performance and, above all, welfare. Yet one of the most common, and most misunderstood issues affecting ridden horses is saddle slip.
