Saddle fitting

Why?

Remember that pair of shoes that fit perfectly in the morning and were too tight in the evening?

This is an everyday example. Applied to the horse, this means that a resting, relaxed muscle does not have the same volume as an active muscle with a strong blood supply.

Therefore, it is of great importance to take a fit for a saddle when the horse has strained its muscles, e.g. after a training session etc.

Opinions vary as to which system is used to transfer the fit to a negative. Whether the 1000 times proven measuring frame or digital scanning - the important thing is to take the back of the horse into account as accurately as possible in the saddle construction.

In addition to the measuring frame, we use the digital system from www.horseshape.com

That puts us on the safe side.

To ensure that the new saddle fits the rider perfectly, rider-specific information and measurements are required. These then influence, among other things, the fender length, seat size and, depending on the later use (competition sport, leisure riding, etc.), also the saddle shape.

Service

As you have experienced, it is not only important for you, but especially for your horse, that everything you pay for fits. That is why we also check and, if necessary, fit your used saddle to your (new) horse.

In addition, we will send you the data collected from your horse on the day of the measurement. This will help you to check whether your horse's back has changed over time due to age, training, etc. This is for the benefit of your horse and your own safety. - This is for the benefit of your horse and your own safety.
