Saddle FittingInformation
After your initial saddle fit, werecommend that you have the fit of your saddle checked within the first threemonths, as it will settle in the head during the initial riding period, as isstandard with all new saddles. Following this initial settling in period, yoursaddle fit should then be assessed every six months throughout your saddle’slife to ensure the saddle continues to fit correctly, as your horse changesshape according to its age, level of fitness and work program. It is alwaysrecommended that you seek ongoing professional advice on your horse’s saddlefit, where possible. However the following information can assist you in notonly assessing your horse’s saddle fit, but understanding when simpleadjustments should be made.
In order to check the clearance,bearing and balance of a saddle, it is important that the saddle is positionedcorrectly. All fitting adjustments and saddle alterations should be made inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Ensure your horse is standingsquare and is on level ground. Locate your horse’s shoulder and check to seethat the nail of the saddle is approximately three fingers distance from theedge of your horse’s shoulder.
Checking for sufficient clearance
Sufficient clearance of yourhorse’s wither, across the width and length of the spine, should be maintainedat all times. Check to see that the channel of the saddle is clear of yourhorse’s wither and spine through the length of the saddle.
Checking for even bearing
Your saddle should bear evenly onyour horse’s back, providing a close fit. Run your hand between your horse andthe panel of your saddle to check for even bearing. If your saddle features theCAIR Cushion System, it is important that a rider sits in the saddle to checkthe bearing, as the air becomes dynamic under the rider’s weight.
Checking for a balanced seat
Check that the deepest part ofthe saddle seat is central and level to ensure perfect saddle balance. Shouldyour saddle require further adjustments select the optimal combination ofEASY-CHANGE Risers to achieve sufficient clearance, even bearing and perfectbalance.
NB. The innovative systems in our saddles offerunsurpassed flexibility in achieving an optimal fit, however, no one saddle canclaim to fit any horse. It is always recommended you seek ongoing professionaladvice on the fit and in meeting the unique needs of each horse/ridercombination.
