What a great day, we can’t wait to see the research.

Great day University carrying out a hugely ambitious research project investigating factors associated with saddle fit in relation to the rider.

A Hartpury RKE funded project led by myself & Kathryn Nankervis we collected observations from forty equine professionals (saddle fitters and coaches) from sixty horse/rider combinations. Research is a team effort, and this study would not have been possible without the horse/riders and the equine professionals who took part - a massive thank you to each and everyone.

Massive thank you to Hartpury RKE for funding the project.

Massive thank you to the amazing Hartpury team: Lorna Cameron, Christy Maddock, Vicki Walker Victoria Lewis, Gillian Tabor, Jo Winfield Jane Williams, Phillip Cheetham Catherine Porter , and and all our student research assistants.

Massive thanks to our external research team: Erik Mackechnie-Guire, Lucinda Stockley,Jo Beavis , .

Massive team effort 👏👏

Now data processing fun begins 🤓🤓

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays meme relates to the changes in back shape and saddle fit.

The horses back shape (posture) can alter with exercise (if ridden in a correctly fitted saddle), training, seasons etc. Important that the fit of the saddle is checked regularly to reduce the risk of back related dysfunction.

As an example - a saddle that is fitted on day 1, after 90 days of correct training and management (resulting in an improved top line) , will the saddle still be in balance and a optimal fit??

Or a saddle which was “made to measure” for a young horse, will it still fit the same as when the horse has matured??

The horses back is a dynamic platform where it’s movement and shape is influenced by multiple factors. The fit of the saddle must be checked regularly throughout the horses ridden career regardless of what it’s purpose is - hacking or sporting.

Looking for someone to clean your saddle 👀?

Nigel from Balmoral Equestrian has a range of homemade tack cleaning products on his stand by the outdoor arena and is even offering a saddle cleaning service! So if you take your saddle over to him during the day he’ll get it looking as good as new and save you a job for when you get home 😊

Nigel did a pre-show saddle check for protective services rider Maisie McCormick to make sure it was in tip-top condition.

Yesterday Nigel Bexon of Balmoral Equestrian came to fit a saddle to foz, it was a very successful day. We brought a show saddle, had my dressage saddle flocked to him and he has taken my GP saddle for a full reflock.

I have to say how happy I am with the service Nigel gave, he was very knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge, he never pushed a sale onto me he was more than happy to do everything asked. And very reasonably priced too.

He has put my mind at ease regarding a few things with fozes back and I was amazed at his tracings with how even they were. (I took tracings a couple of months ago and there was a massive asymmetry there)
