In person: We meet and take history while checking horse confirmation and taking multiple tracings of your horses back. We look at fit of your existing saddle or potential saddles to purchase on your horse while in cross-ties. During the step we are looking for; pain scale, balance, pressure points (like bridging), tree angle, rock, length, billet placement, girth, etc. This is when adjustments will be on an existing saddle like flocking or tree adjustment, then rechecked on your horse. Dynamic fitting with horse in hand to see how the horse holds their back with the saddle on, horses reaction, if saddle is being thrown saddle one way or another. Then the ridden fitting (rider position and balance, horse’s movement, tension or relaxation, saddle bounce, slip, roll). Redo any adjustments, take notes, make recommendations.
