Before Your Appointment
Please have your horse clean, dry and ready at the scheduled appointment time. Do not work or exercise your horse before the fitting.
Have all relevant saddles, pads, cinches or girths, and bridles available. All riders should be present and prepared to ride when a ridden evaluation is appropriate.
Horses must be comfortable and sound enough to be assessed in motion. An appointment may need to be modified or postponed if lameness, open wounds in the saddle area or another condition prevents a meaningful evaluation.
Important Information
Saddle fit recommendations are based on your horse, rider and equipment at the time of the appointment.
Horses change with age, training, conditioning, weight, muscle development, health and workload. Because of this, saddle fit can change over time and should be reassessed periodically.
