Horse Assessment

Your Saddle Fitter will make a thorough assessment of your horse, including checking their back and girth area. They will note any areas of conformation or condition that may affect saddle fit, and will watch your horse walk and trot up to help understand how their gait may affect saddle fit.

A key part of your appointment is taking a full set of templates - these indicate areas of possible asymmetry and show how your horse’s back changes shape over time, from one appointment to the next.

If you have any concerns, the first step is to call your Saddle Fitter. Find your local SMS Qualified & Registered Saddle Fitter on our site www.mastersaddlers.co.uk
