Enhance Your Ride: Professional Saddle Fitting Service

Unsure if your western saddle fits your horse or in search of a new one? Fitting and purchasing western saddles is notoriously difficult, because there is no standard sizing or measurement guidelines across brand. I'm here to help and find the perfect match for you and your horse. Utilizing both hands-on and digital tools, my recommendations are transparent and easy to understand.

The aim of my visit is to determine whether your current saddle is fitting your horse or to help you find an alternative. I have no set limit on saddles per session, and if we don't find a suitable one during my visit, I can continue searching on your behalf. A dedicated file is created for each horse for future reference and assistance, but also to compare future developments of your horse.

During my fittings I utilize a saddle pressure measurement system from Tactilus Equestrics®Sensor System to analyse saddle pressure and pressure distribution live, during movement.

Pressure mapping is included in my standard fittings but can also be booked seperately.

If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding saddle fitting that I don't answer below, feel free to reach out. I am here to provide you with advice and assistance throughout the entire process.

What happens during a full saddle fitting session?

Step 1

Physical & Visuell Examination

We start the consultation with looking at the physical examination and palpation of your horse, its muscle proportions and conformation. We also look at the horse in motion.

At this point we also have a short analysis of yourself, the rider to see what kind of needs you have in a saddle.

Step 2

Drawing the Horse

Now I am going to mark all important points on your horses back and than transfer key measurments of your horses back, with the help of a flexible ruler, into a digital file to keep track on your horses history and to keep simply file.

Believe me when it is fun to track your horses progress over time.

Step 3

Take a Mold of the Horses Back

During the next step I am going to mold a saddle grid to your horses back. This helps me to be able to do a quick check on your current saddle(s) if you have any, and/or also make a selection of saddles that could be a match to your horse.

Step 4

Saddle Check & Selection

We can use the saddle grid to now either check the saddle(s) you already have or use it to make a quick selection of saddles we want to try on your horse.

Step 5

Saddle Testing & Pressure Mapping

This is a crucial part - we test selected saddles on your horse. I want to see you in the saddle - if your horse is saddlebroke - to determine the fit while in motion.

To determine if the saddle is a good fit, I use a pressure mapping blanket under the saddle pad and saddle for instant digital feedback.

At the end we hopefully have a found a match for you and your horse.

Upon arrival, the horse should be clean and ready, waiting in the stable or arena/ indoor.

You have still got questions?

Read our FAQ's

Do I have to ride my horse?

It is definitely from advantage if you can test ride, but if you're horse is a youngster than normal check will suffice until later in training. Please do make sure though that your horse is ok with different people and having saddles placed on their back.

What is if you do not have a saddle that fits my horse?

There is unfortunately always a risk that I will not have a saddle with that fits your horse well enough. With all the data I took however, I can continoue to find a match.

Do you carry treeless saddles?

No I don't.

Can I exchange my current saddle?

That is absolutely something we can discuss pre or at my visit. Please check also the section about selling your saddle with us.

Do you fit English saddles?

I don't and I do. With that I mean, if you have a hunter saddle for example, I am happy to check that one too, as well as offer pressure mapping for the saddles you have.I do however not buy/ commission or look for english saddles to match with owners at this point.
