The Saddle Fitting category connects you with experts who ensure your horse’s saddle fits perfectly, promoting comfort, performance, and long-term health. Proper saddle fitting is crucial to prevent pain, restricted movement, or injury, as an ill-fitting saddle can cause issues like back soreness, uneven gaits, or behavioral problems. These professionals assess your horse’s conformation, movement, and discipline—whether it’s dressage, barrel racing, or trail riding—and evaluate saddle balance, pressure points, and rider position. They may offer custom adjustments, flocking services, or recommendations for new saddles tailored to your horse’s unique build, often using tools like pressure mapping or 3D fitting technology. Many saddle fitters also provide on-site consultations at barns or events.
