What does a Saddle Fitting look like?
During a saddle fitting, Susan and David take turns explaining the elements of saddle fit to owners. Then they put saddles on to walk the client through seeing and feeling what fits. After that, the owner rides in different saddles to see which works best. Right: Susan checks the fit of a saddle on Bjola, an Icelandic horse, while her rider is aboard. Sometimes saddles that should fit don’t feel as good when riding, so it is important to check fit with the rider on top. Then we watch the horse and rider move to see what the horse says about each saddle.
