Saddle fit

Saddle fit refers to how well a horse's saddle matches the horse’s shape and size, ensuring comfort and performance for both horse and rider. An appropriately fitted saddle distributes weight evenly across the horse’s back, avoiding pressure points that can cause discomfort or injury. Proper fit considers the horse’s withers, back shape, and muscle structure, as well as the saddle’s shape, size, and design. Regular checks are important, as a horse’s shape can change over time. A well-fitted saddle promotes better movement, comfort, and overall well-being for the horse.
