Your Saddle Fitting Service
I provide a comprehensive mobile service where I travel directly to your location to perform detailed assessments and provide expert recommendations. Please allow 1.5 hours for a fitting.
What's Included in Every Fitting
Thorough In-Person Horse Assessment: Complete conformation evaluation, back palpation, static evaluation of current saddle fit, and assessment of muscle development and asymmetries.
Dynamic Mounted Rider Observation: Evaluation of saddle balance, rider position, and analysis of horse movement and behaviour under saddle.
Problem Identification: Clear identification of areas of inadequate fit (if identified), assessment of impact on both horse and rider, and documentation of findings.
Practical Recommendations: Primary focus on adjusting existing saddles wherever possible. If new saddle required, I provide a curated selection from a range of brands and budgets.
Optional - Follow-Up Service: In-person follow-up check within 6 months for adjusted saddles to ensure continued fit as your horse adapts or changes. A follow up appointment is reccomended within 3 months for new saddles

Horse Welfare Priority
Proper saddle fit is essential for preventing physical harm to horses. Poor fit can cause:
☒ Chronic back pain and muscle damage
☒ Behavioural issues often mistaken for "attitude"
☒ Reduced performance and reluctance to work
☒ Long-term physical damage
My priority is to ensure your horse's comfort and welfare are never compromised.
