Saddle Fitting
Information
After your initial saddle fit, we
recommend that you have the fit of your saddle checked within the first three
months, as it will settle in the head during the initial riding period, as is
standard with all new saddles. Following this initial settling in period, your
saddle fit should then be assessed every six months throughout your saddle’s
life to ensure the saddle continues to fit correctly, as your horse changes
shape according to its age, level of fitness and work program. It is always
recommended that you seek ongoing professional advice on your horse’s saddle
fit, where possible. However the following information can assist you in not
only assessing your horse’s saddle fit, but understanding when simple
adjustments should be made.
In order to check the clearance,
bearing and balance of a saddle, it is important that the saddle is positioned
correctly. All fitting adjustments and saddle alterations should be made in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Ensure your horse is standing
square and is on level ground. Locate your horse’s shoulder and check to see
that the nail of the saddle is approximately three fingers distance from the
edge of your horse’s shoulder.
Checking for sufficient clearance
Sufficient clearance of your
horse’s wither, across the width and length of the spine, should be maintained
at all times. Check to see that the channel of the saddle is clear of your
horse’s wither and spine through the length of the saddle.
Checking for even bearing
Your saddle should bear evenly on
your horse’s back, providing a close fit. Run your hand between your horse and
the panel of your saddle to check for even bearing. If your saddle features the
CAIR Cushion System, it is important that a rider sits in the saddle to check
the bearing, as the air becomes dynamic under the rider’s weight.
Checking for a balanced seat
Check that the deepest part of
the saddle seat is central and level to ensure perfect saddle balance. Should
your saddle require further adjustments select the optimal combination of
EASY-CHANGE Risers to achieve sufficient clearance, even bearing and perfect
balance.
NB. The innovative systems in our saddles offer
unsurpassed flexibility in achieving an optimal fit, however, no one saddle can
claim to fit any horse. It is always recommended you seek ongoing professional
advice on the fit and in meeting the unique needs of each horse/rider
combination.
