Have You Recently Put Your Horse or Pony On Prascend?

I am seeing quite alot of horse who have and it has caused them to drop weight, also effected by a new regime.

This will likely cause the saddle to sit a little or alot too wide, which may show up as…

Too much movement in the saddle

Too tight around the wither as will have dropped down
Lifting at the back

Cause coat ruffling/rubs

Feel out of balance

Change the horses way of going.

So. It’s very important to get your saddle checked before it causes issues.

Remember during your saddle check, the saddle is adjusted to fit your horse as it presents at the time of fitting, your horse can change shape by a size plus within 24hrs, for several reasons, which May cause the saddle to not sit correctly, so don’t get cross with your fitter if this happens, contact them and work with them.

Need a check…?
You can call me for an appointment.

Working With Connie’s…

I work with many Connie’s which really vary in shapes and sizes, the largest being 17hh!!

So even though they all have differences, they all also share some of the following…

🐴. Wide Spine
🐴. Shorter Backs
🐴. Big Active Shoulder
🐴. Well Sprung Rib Cage
🐴. Forward Girth Groove
🙃. Grey

And if all of these points are not catered for, You are likely to have saddle issues, anything from…

saddle slip,
tightness around the wither and shoulder.
Saddle sitting too long
Saddle moving forward
Saddle out of balance/too low at the back.

This may then cause…

Unhappy ponio when seeing saddle
Hollowing
Dipping in back
So unable to lift and work in turnout line
Tightness from chops to tail
Shorter stride
Unhappy to canter so a rushed choppier transition and maybe a buck.
They don’t have the top line you would expect.

And the list goes on.

If your struggling, feel free to contact me Jane on 07971019225

But I’m pleased to say that this beautiful boy, since having his new comfy saddle is able to work very well and has transformed his way of going and overall posture and topline…

He and his owner Daisy are going from strength to strength, even in the wet, blustery weather !!!
They look truly fantastic!!!🤩

No matter how small or large,

So That You Know..

I Don’t Just Check My Own Saddles, I Can Check Your Own Saddles Too.. :)

Thought I would post this as I get asked this a lot…!

Not everyone needs/wants a new saddle, that’s why I’m happy to work with your own saddle too.

Saddles checks are so important, especially seasonally, to catch changes before they may cause a problem.

Do you remember when your last check was…?

Riding Post Having Developed Disabilities…

An absolutely awful thing for anyone to go through, which can you leave you with both emotional and physical changes to deal with.

I work with clients that are at various stages of getting back in the saddle. Everyone is going through their own individual journey for a variety of reasons.

But feeling safe, balanced and secure in the saddle is so important.
Especially when your balance, strength and confidence may have been taken away from you.

Everyone will need their saddle individual adapted to suit.

A simple thing, but adding addition back blocks on Velcro can make a huge different to your balance and how you feel mentally about riding, making you feel more confident.

These saddles were designed for exactly this reason, giving the lower leg more support and stability. The block could be replaced with little covers when no longer needed.
Blocks can be any size and shape to give you the best feeling, and added to any model.

I work very closely with Bliss Of London to provide the best options possible…

You may well be pleasantly surprised how good you can feel in a saddle, a real elixir you didn’t even know you needed…!
