Why use a foundation pad?

I'm sure we've all heard the old fashioned "if your saddle fits, you don't need a pad" comment from time to time, to which my response would be to ask when did the saddle fit? Was it this morning, last week or 6 months ago?

Like our own bodies, our horses "shape" can vary greatly throughout the days, weeks and months. They're affected by diet, turnout, routine and most importantly, posture and exercise.

When fitted correctly with a foundation pad, we can work with the horse to build their "best back".
It also allows for us to work with the many fluctuations in size, shape, asymmetry, muscular development and weight that our horses transition through during the course of the year, without compromising the integrity of the saddle and panels

Foundation pads also allow for us to work with horse and rider asymmetry, it enables us to create an even and correct balance between the two without compromising the comfort of the horse and rider or the integrity of the saddle.

So.... When did your saddle fit?

📢 New Page Announcement!

I’m excited to introduce myself to both new and existing clients and share more about my work and passion.

My name is Alana Coxhill (formerly Rothwell), and I am a human and equine sports therapist with nearly a decade of experience at Pennine Therapy Group. Alongside my work, I pursued a degree in Equine Science, deepening my understanding of horse health and performance.

Through years of working with horses, I recognized that many issues stem from improper equipment, lack of knowledge, and inadequate training. This realization led me to focus on expanding my expertise to better support both horses and their owners.

As part of this journey, I was incredibly fortunate to train with Jemma at LM Saddles, eventually becoming a proud member of Team LM. Here, I found a shared commitment to equine welfare, ensuring that every decision made is truly "for the good of the horse".

My mission moving forward:
✔️ Enhance horse and rider performance through education and therapy
✔️ Provide LM expert guidance on saddles and equipment
✔️ Help horses thrive—one at a time

If you're passionate about equine well-being, follow along—let’s go on this journey together!
