Saddle Fitting

As Master Instructor English & Western, and with years of professional saddle fitting experience - our fitter understands the requirements of the horse and the rider.

Take the guess work out of it, and maximize your horses ability - with the right fit for you both. Whether you want an assessment on your existing saddle, or are in the market for a new saddle - we can help!

We are not affiliated with one particular brand and we stock a broad range of consignment saddles. Unlike other saddle fitters, we are able to cater to all budgets, disciplines and all levels of riding.

Benefits to using a professional saddle fitter?

• Minimise potential lameness issues. Many horses without a good saddle fit, spend significantly more time lame which means $$$
• Maximise your horses ability, correct saddle fit should allow your horse to lift and use their back, free up their shoulder and help them maintain a strong frame and healthy body.
• Getting the right fit for both of you. It is important the saddle supports your position, and your horse. If only one or the other is right, you won't find harmony as a team.

How do you proceed?

Provide details

• Discipline/Style
• Budget
• Seat Size
• Riding Intensity/Frequency
• Horses Breed & Age

Provide Pictures

Have your horse standing square and facing forward. Take the following pictures:

• 1 picture either side - full horse (no saddles/pads)
• 1 picture from a foot above the hind end facing to the shoulder
• 1 picture from a foot above the neck, facing to the hind
• 1 picture from the side and front with the saddle, no pad - in place (saddle assessments only)

Appointment Time

Once we have all of the required information, we will contact you to arrange your appointment. We can come to your stable to view your horse and make an assessment on what is needed or you can haul into the store. The benefit of on-site appointments is that you will have the opportunity to ride in the saddles during the process as needed. 

If you train regularly with a coach, we recommend that they attend any on-site appointments, or that you trial your saddle of choice after the appointment so that he/she can assess your position in the saddle for your discipline and training.
