The right choice of saddle should be carefully considered, as the correct saddle has a direct influence on the well-being and health of horse and rider. The measurements given in our online shop are only intended as an initial guide when choosing a saddle. The final choice of saddle must be made individually for each horse and rider.

When choosing a saddle, it is important that the rider and saddle are positioned correctly. Experts recommend that the moving parts of the horse's back are loaded as little as possible in order to maximise the animal's range of movement. For various reasons, it is recommended that the saddle is positioned in the saddle position.

Summary for initial orientation:

• Correct positioning avoids fit errors caused by the user, which can result in sitting and movement restrictions.
• It is important that the saddle is positioned correctly. Then it can really relieve the horse when riding and enable the rider to sit correctly.
• In order to be able to judge the correct fit, it is important that the saddle lies in the right place, namely the saddle position.
• When tightening the girth straps, the girth should be a hand's width behind the front leg. The girth straps should go down vertically.
• When positioning the saddle, make sure that the low point of the saddle is in the front half.
• We recommend the use of woollen panels for heavier riders.
• Use saddle pads with real lambskin for better moisture absorption.

We generally recommend consulting a master saddler.
The green gullet plate supplied (size 29 - normally narrow) and the size of 17.5"/44 cm make it ready for immediate use.
