📆 When was your last saddle fitting?

Just look 👀 at the difference a saddle makes...

Contact Orion Saddles today for a fitting.

Below is a before and after of my mare Izzy when I first bought her and a while after.

She started my passion for fitting.

As you can see in the top picture her top line was underdeveloped and the girth caused sores and bumps.

❌She had a swayed back and in the top photo had severe muscle atrophy.

✅ She had a remedial saddle fitting, where we used pads with shims in to support her muscle wasted areas and behold the result in the bottom photo with some work and a better understanding of how a horse should work, she was able to develop more muscle and begin to start working through her back.

(Though this picture is far from perfect, it is a huge improvement, she was 20 something in the top photo and nearly 30 something in bottom photo!)

If you'd like to learn more about how to help your horse or you think you need a fitting do not hesitate to contact me.

📩Message me on this page or text me on my mobile.

☀️🐴 Summer holidays are here… is your horse comfy enough to enjoy them too?

Longer hacks, fun rides, maybe a clinic or two!!

☀️ Summer often means we’re spending more time in the saddle, but with all that extra movement (and all those extra hours in the heat), it’s worth asking… is your horse’s saddle still working with them… or against them?

I’m seeing more and more horses feeling tight or grumpy simply because their saddles haven’t been checked in a while. A little adjustment can make a huge difference to their way of going and your enjoyment too.

At Orion Saddles I work independently and holistically to make sure both you and your horse are comfortable, balanced, and ready to make the most of the sunny season ahead.

🌿 No sales pitch, no pressure, just an honest, thorough look at what you’ve got and how your horse is moving.

🐎 If you’d like to give your horse that extra bit of comfort before all those summer adventures, drop me a message. I’d love to help.

I am also able to supply SMART Saddles trial rides on request

As well as Cavaletti Collection

📝 I will check, reflock and adjust your own saddles of all brands too.

🌞 Summer Is Here!! 😎

Time to get your saddles checked! 🐎

As temperatures rise and we get out and enjoy the weather with our best friends, now is the perfect time to book a saddle fit. Changes in your horse’s weight, muscle tone, and coat condition during the warmer months can affect how your saddle fits and that can mean discomfort, resistance, or even injury if left unchecked.

✅ Has your horse lost or gained condition?
✅ Have you noticed behavioral changes under saddle?
✅ Planning more riding, training, or shows this summer?

A proper fitting saddle ensures freedom of movement, comfort, and optimal performance for both horse and rider. Let’s keep your summer rides smooth, pain-free, and enjoyable!

📅 Book your summer saddle fit appointment today and give your horse the comfort they deserve.

Fitting Checks: Girthing - the first culprit of poor saddle performance

While overtightening isn’t recommended, an excessively loose girth can lead to saddle instability, increased friction, pads shifting and discomfort. Like a well-fitted running shoe, a SMART Saddles requires close, even contact with the horse’s back to engage correctly and enable a balanced fit.

The SMART Saddle’s unique girthing assembly, combined with the fully flexible saddle design, accommodates a wide variety of horse shapes, including asymmetries. This system relies on a secure girth-fit to function correctly.

Choosing the right girth:

In our experience, girths with multiple elasticated sections often cause instability issues when paired with flexible saddles. While they may help absorb movement in rigid saddles, too much elasticity undermines the stability of a saddle designed to move with the horse.

A simple girth with strong elasticated ends (such as the Professional’s Choice Ventech) provides the ideal balance of flexibility and security, complementing the SMART Saddle’s design.

❓If clients report saddle-related issues, always advise checking the girth first. Common problems arise from poorly suited girths, incorrect fit, or girths fastened too loosely.

✅A practical fitting tip: if you can pull the girth buckle up a hole, it should be tightened; if not, the fit is appropriate.

⚠️Remember to communicate this clearly to riders - proper girthing is crucial to saddle performance and horse comfort.
