Choosing the right saddle requires careful consideration, as the correct saddle has a direct impact on the well-being and health of both horse and rider. The dimensions provided in our online shop serve only as a preliminary guide for saddle selection. The final choice of saddle must be made individually and tailored to each horse-rider pair.

When selecting a saddle, it is important that both the rider and the saddle are positioned correctly. Experts recommend minimizing the load on the important movable parts of the horse's back to allow for maximum range of motion for the animal. For various reasons, it is advised that the saddle be positioned in the saddle area.

Summary for initial orientation:

• Proper placement helps avoid fit errors caused by the user, which can lead to seating and movement restrictions.

• It is important that the saddle is positioned correctly. This way, it can truly relieve the horse while allowing the rider to maintain the correct seat.

• To assess the correct fit, it is essential that the saddle rests in the appropriate place, namely the saddle area.

• When securing the girths, the saddle girth should be positioned a hand's breadth behind the front leg. The girths should go straight down.

• When placing the saddle, ensure that the lowest point of the saddle is located in the front half.

• For heavier riders, we recommend using wool pads.

• Use saddle pads with real lambskin for better moisture absorption.

In general, we recommend consulting a master saddler.
