How Does a Saddle Evaluation Work?

Here’s what to expect.

Please plan for at least 2 hours per horse for the full saddle evaluation. We’ll go through why your saddle works, or why it doesn’t, and how it can be affecting your horse currently.

  • Please do not ride your horse prior to the evaluation. If you horse is “fresh”, lunging is ok, but nothing too excessive. There is a dynamic fit part of the evaluation, so be prepared to ride.

  • Practice having your horse stand square and still. This is so important for a lot of other things, besides having your saddle evaluated. :)

  • Include anyone you’d like, or anyone who wants to learn!

After we are done measuring and riding in your current saddle, we’ll talk about options. It could be you’re good to go, or we need to chat about other options. That could look like finding a different saddle, or trying a TW or Specialized saddle I have available.
