Of course sometimes the saddle is just not right. there are a lot of things that can be considered first. I am not an employee of a company so I have the luxury to remain objective Instead, I want clients to be aware about all the options of adjustments that could have been made to their current saddle and make an informed decision.įrom reflocking wool panels to changing an incorrect balance dropping the panels and replacing lumpy or hard flocking and replacing it with soft new wool converting foam or air panels to wool panels adjusting a tree a size up and/or down using shim or therapeutic pads to correct minor fitting issues.
We covered not only saddle fitting but bench work, repairs and especially equine anatomy. The course required around 250 hours of classroom hours, homework, research for homework and presentations, Internernships, Bench time, Case studies, Volounteer hours and countless hours in research. While we were able to recognize that it wasn't right I did not have the tools and education to address/correct and fix the problem.Īfter a lot research about the different avenues I decided to take the path of becoming a "Certified Independent Saddlefitter" with Mike Scott. Horses not happy to work, actual physical damage cause by saddles fit to wide, too narrow, hard panels or incorrect balance.
Over the years we have seen way too many clients with incorrectly fitted saddles.
