🛠 Saddle Fitter’s Tip: Do You Check Your Stirrup Leathers? 🐎

Have you ever noticed your left stirrup leather stretches more over time? That’s because most riders mount from the left, putting extra stress on the leather.

✨ Quick Fix: Simply swap the left and right stirrup leathers regularly to keep them even and extend their lifespan!

A small change can make a big difference in your comfort, balance, and saddle longevity! ✅

🐴 5 Quick Saddle Checkpoints You Can Do Yourself! 🛠✨

A well-fitted saddle is essential for your horse’s comfort, movement, and performance. Here are 5 easy steps to check your saddle fit:

1️⃣ Withers Clearance – Make sure the saddle isn’t pressing on the withers and allows enough space.
2️⃣ Even Panel Pressure – Run your hand along the front panel to ensure there’s smooth, even contact.
3️⃣ Side-to-Side Balance – Check for even pressure from front to back using your hand.
4️⃣ Spinal Clearance – Ensure there’s enough space between the panels at the back for spinal movement.
5️⃣ Balance Test – Imagine placing a ball on the seat—does it stay centered? If it rolls forward or back, the saddle might be unbalanced.

📅 Regular checks = a happy, comfortable horse! Need expert help? Book your professional saddle fitting with Watson’s Zadel Service today!

🚨 The Hidden Danger of a Poorly Fitted Saddle! 🚨

Did you know that an unbalanced saddle can cause muscle atrophy in your horse? 🐎💔 When a saddle puts too much pressure on certain muscles, the horse instinctively tries to avoid the discomfort by going into defensive mode—contracting muscles, altering movement, and even changing gaits. Over time, this leads to muscle loss and discomfort, affecting both performance and well-being. 😞

Sonya, our expert saddle fitter, has seen countless cases where improperly fitted saddles caused severe muscle atrophy in the back. But with the right saddle adjustment, she has helped horses rebuild their strength, regain comfort, and move freely again! 💪✨

Don't let the wrong saddle harm your horse! Book a saddle fitting today and give your horse the comfort and balance they deserve. ❤🏇

What a day! A while ago, I was invited by the University of applied sciences Van Hall Larenstein to give a workshop to the international students of the Equine Sports & Business department. It was a pleasure explaining the basics of saddle fitting to this top class of interested young adults! And thanks for the lovely after movie! 😊
