Your Saddle fit, and the business of saddle fitting can be problematic. Horses do not come in one size or shape, and can change shape on a regular basis depending on their access to food sources bringing changes in their weight through the horses regulation of its metabolism bringing changes to the ratio of muscle and fat coverage, especially in light of their ridden work regimes. Saddles are designed with a particular saddle tree in mind which they are then built upon and around, the two combined dictate how the saddle will fall on the profile of the horses back and this will affect how it performs in use and the level of comfort the horse will experience.

The Business of saddle fitting involves assessment of the horse physically when stood still and standing square on a level surface and looking for any A-symmetry, muscle atrophy or abnormal muscle development, and also having considered the horses gait and movement characteristics in hand. We fit saddles for the horse when in movement not stood still, and so a very important that part of saddle fitting should be the assessment under saddle as under ridden conditions the horses back lifts and this changes the saddles contact areas. We also consider the riders height affecting leg length and position, and any difficulties the rider has physically that may affect their riding or the saddle performance. Poor fit can lead to discomfort for your horse and unwanted behaviours such as bucking, napping and moving off when the rider tries to mount. The rider in a saddle that does not fit them may find they experience back or joint pain. Importantly, both horse and human may find that they cannot do what is being asked of them. These are just some of the things involved in saddle checks and fitting that need the experience of the saddle fitter and the co-operation of the rider to ensure things are assessed correctly.

Ian Taft is Master Saddler qualified in Saddle flocking and flocking adjustment, and approved by Leading Brands Amerigo, and Equipe saddles (by Swiss designer Peter Menet) as well as Pessoa as authorised saddle brand suppliers. Specialising in fitting competition horses to improve comfort and improved performance as well as horses and ponies performing in all other equestrian disciplines. Saddles should be professionally checked on a regular basis typically every six months to cater for the winter and summer seasons and annually at the very least. However for horses competing at higher level under more demanding equine athletic conditions, some riders are requesting saddle checks more regularly to maximise performance and to ensure the saddle does not contribute to soreness or injury.
