If one element falls short, it will suffer from discomfort, which will affect the performance of both. Rider fit is important to your horse: a saddle that doesn’t fit you properly can affect your balance, which can cause the horse to compensate or move differently. Horse fit is important: A saddle that doesn't fit your horse properly will make him uncomfortable, grumpy, distracted and not move to his fullest ability. For example, he may not want to pick up one lead. EFS Remedy Measuring your horse is the first thing we do when you order a saddle. That way, we get the tree right for your horse's comfort. Beyond building the proper seat size and fender length for the rider, we provide mechanisms for the rider to adjust the seat shape, width, and pocket as well as the position of the stirrups (forward or back). That way, we get the saddle right for your comfort.
