‘smoke and mirrors’. It has become an actual diagnostic science, and although many people with some knowledge may feel they have a right to an opinion, saddlefitters are specifically trained to analyse saddle fit and make professional suggestions for solutions. There are facts and research available to support these statements; it is no longer valid simply to say “I think it fits; my horse is moving okay; my saddle is custom and it should fit the rest of my horse’s life”. Saddle fit is crucial to the well-being of the horse (and to the comfort of the rider!) and should be evaluated at the very least once a year. In many instances, the horse is performing in spite of a poorly fitting saddle – think what he could be giving you if the saddle actually were right for him!
