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 measurements provided in our online shop are intended solely as a preliminary guide for saddle selection. The final choice of saddle must be made individually and tailored to each horse-and-rider combination.

When selecting a saddle, it is important that both the rider and the saddle are properly positioned. Experts recommend minimizing the load on the important movable parts of the horse's back to allow for maximum movement 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 restrictions in seating and movement.

• It is crucial 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 important that the saddle rests in the appropriate area, namely the saddle position.

• When fastening the girths, the saddle girth should lie 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.
