 Country Equine is proud to offer the convenience of on site saddle fitting and saddle fitting clinic, in addition to our quality saddle re-flocking, repairs and sales. In order to accurately evaluate a saddle fit issue, a "hands-on", on site approach is best. We are happy to look at the fit on any brand of English saddle.
With 15 years experience in saddle fitting we have gained essential knowledge from which to draw, in the evaluation of a saddle fit and any necessary adjustments that can be made.
In addition to this, we also own horses and over the years have had many a different and difficult horse or pony to fit a saddle to. As riders, we also recognize the need for a saddle well suited for a particular persons body type. As an Advanced Level Equine Touch bodyworker, the need for a complete balanced contact between the horse and rider via the saddle is recognised as one of the fundamental things required in bringing the best out in both.
Educating the owner/rider and taking them beyond just fixing a saddle fit problem and into the understanding of the essential part a good saddle plays, in the communication and effectiveness between horse and rider is an added value of having us to come and fit your horse for you.
A saddle fit evaluation appointment includes a full history taking of the horse, rider and saddle, a set of wither tracings, and saddle fit evaulation. Flocking adjustments or repair work is charged in addition to the stable call fee. All work will be discussed at the time the appointment is made. Appointments can last up to two hours and can require the rider to ride the horse.
Country Equine can help you in achieving the successful partnership you and your horse are striving for. Your equipment should help in every aspect of partnership together.
