Saddle Fit
Saddle fit is one of the 4 pillars of equine wellness. Proper fitting tack has an overall effect on the horses freedom of movement, balance, and carriage of the musculoskeletal system, affecting neurology, musculature, feet, and even the teeth. This is why correct fit is so important.
Saddle fit is fairly simple, yet sometimes it can seem complicated. I am here to help you simplify it, and make it easy to identify fit issues, and correct them.
Using a wire to “trace” your horses back allows you to easily check any saddle against the wire, to see if there are gaps or pinch points that might need to be addressed. Wire kits with instructions are sold here.
I offer in person, and virtual saddle fitting, where i walk you through the process. In most cases, the right pad will correct a minor issues. The condition and balance of the saddle must be addressed, making sure that the tree is not warped, and that the bar angle generally fits the shape of the horse you are fitting too.
One of the things I am so excited to offer is a corrective therapeutic saddle pad that has shims to address most saddle fit issues. Here is the link to the Remuda Pad.
