The Saddle Fitting Process

Firstly we ascertain details about you and your horse, current saddle and requirements. Whether it be a new saddle or a check.

We then find a suitable day and time to either come to you or you to us at our base near to Earl Shilton, Leics.

We ask you to have your horse clean, dry and an available flat area (preferably undercover!) to assess them.

We ask that you have suitable boots for riding, a helmet and a safe area to ride. (We do not carry out fittings on grass in the winter)

We assess your horse statically, firstly looking for any obvious health problems or injuries, then their conformation.

We will then take templates and discuss findings

We will then look at your current saddle, check it for safety and soundness and try it on your horse

If your saddle can be refitted, we will then do this and watch you ride

If not, then we will try on other saddle options, discuss these and watch you ride in them

From here we will either order you in the correct saddle, in the spec that you require or fit and sell you something we have in stock. We will take a deposit of 50% to order in all new saddles

There can be a short wait depending on the manufacturer, anything from 0-10 weeks

When your new saddle arrives we will fit it and check that everything is ok. We then contact you to have your new saddle checked after 8-12 weeks

We recommend if you have had a refit of your current saddle that you have it checked again in approximately 3-6 months

We are always on the end of the phone or email if you have any questions, issues or want a chat about your saddle situation!
