BUCKING BELGIAN SADDLE FITTING
Independent Saddle Fitting
for Horse & Rider
At Bucking Belgian Saddle Fitting, I believe a good fit starts with understanding the whole picture.
I’m Sarah, an independent mobile saddle fitter based in Port Orchard, Washington. I consider the horse, saddle and rider together, looking at anatomy, biomechanics and movement to understand how the saddle performs in motion.
Whether we’re evaluating your current saddle or exploring new options, my goal is to help you make an informed decision for you and your horse.

FAQs
What happens during a saddle fitting?
I assess your horse’s anatomy, back and movement, followed by the saddle both statically and in motion.
The goal is to understand how the horse, saddle and rider work together and determine the most appropriate next steps.
Why is movement a part of the fitting?
A saddle can appear suitable while the horse is standing still, but movement provides additional information about balance, stability and how the horse responds under saddle.
That is why movement is an important part of my fitting process whenever appropriate.
Why choose an independent fitter?
Being independent means my assessment starts with the horse and rider, rather than one specific saddle brand.
I work with multiple saddle brands and systems, allowing recommendations to be based on conformation, movement, rider needs and the individual situation.
Not sure if your saddle fits?
Horses often show subtle behavioral or physical changes long before pain becomes obvious. This free one-page checklist helps you recognize common red flags that may indicate saddle discomfort, and when it’s time to call a professional fitter.
