When did you last have your saddle checked? You should have your saddle checked at least every 6 months or ideally when you notice a change!
Horses do change shape throughout the year and depending on their workload, you see your horse daily so you may not notice the changes as they can be gradual. A great way to see your horses changing shape is to template them monthly, message me to have a chat and to order your own templating kit!
One of the most common questions asked, however it means very little!
Each manufacturer and maker of saddles will place the D rings in slightly different places as the majority of saddles are still hand made!
What are your weekend plans, it looks like we have a little glimpse of summer … finally, are you going anywhere or doing anything? Send us pictures!
When we reflock saddles we check the whole saddle, giving them a little MOT / service! 🔧
The stitching, girth straps, tacks, staples, and the tree. This mornings reflock found some super loose staples, these were removed and replaced (in total we removed 5 very loose staples from this particular saddle!)
Cleaning tack regularly doesn’t just prolong its life and make it look beautiful, it also gives you the opportunity to take a closer look at the stitching, condition of the girth straps and squishy-ness of the flock or air! If you notice anything unusual pop us a message to see how we can help!
Another brilliant post from the team at 💚
How regular templating can help with tracking weight to manage Laminitus 🐴
Laminitus is a condition that affects the tissues joining the hoof wall to pedal bone in the hoof. It can result in the pedal bone sinking or rotating within the hoof under the weight of the horse. This is why it’s important to manage horses weight, as the heavier they are, the more weight that is being placed onto the bone.
As horses are such large animals, noticing minor changes in weight can be tricky with just your eye! This is why templating can be so useful as it shows the smallest of changes around the wither, spine and cantle that can show you as the rider if they’ve changed shape, gained/lost weight or muscle and how drastically.
It’s important to know templating should not be used as the only indicator of weight flucuations within lamanitic horses, but can be used as a tool to aid other tools to help manage your horse and keep them happy and healthy! 🥰
Want to start templating? Pop me a message to buy your kit! Its easier than you think and can benefit both you and your horse 🐴💚

A lovely sunny Sunday at Ingleton horse show, it was lovely to see so many people and horses.

See you on Sunday!
Keep your horse performing at their best with regular saddle-fitting checks! 🐴🛠️
It's recommended to schedule a visit from your Saddle Fitter at least every six months. However, since horses undergo changes more frequently than biannually, such as changes in weight, muscle tone, or shape, it's essential to adjust the saddle fit accordingly.
Trust The Perfect Fit Kit to help measure and monitor change, and ensure your horse's comfort and well-being remains number one.
