Saddle Fitting

Louise Flocking Louise will come out to visit you and your horse at your barn, it is important that the horse is clean and you are ready to ride. Louise will complete an evaluation of your horse to check for any soreness and anything that may affect the fit of the saddle. She take both a static and dynamic evaluation of your horse to check for any muscle restriction or characteristics caused by the fit of your horses current saddle.

At this point Louise will check over your saddle, ensure that the tree is still in good shape and check the balance and structure of your saddle as well as assessing the panels. Then assess the static fit of the saddle on your horse, you will then be required to ride in your current saddle, Louise will be assessing your saddle as you ride in it.

Once this is complete Louise will be able to provide you with an honest and accurate assessment as to how your saddle fits and what can be done to make it fit better, Louise can adjust the flocking on site and will then ask you to ride again to ensure that it is fitting well. If your saddle is foam or cair then she will be able to suggest ways to ensure the best fit through the use of shims and pads or if this is not an option suggest a conversion to wool. If your saddle simply does not fit well, then Louise can suggest the style, type and Brand of saddle that would work for your horse. Louise is independent so has no brand bias so can help you accurately find the right saddle and help guide you through that process.
