Centered and balanced saddle
When saddling a horse, it is essential to focus on the positioning and balance of the saddle. If done correctly, this process enhances the riding experience and contributes to the horse's well-being.

The Erreplus Half pad with genuine lambskin helps achieve the perfect placement and balance of the saddle on the horse's back.
Thanks to the adjustable Polyfelt shims in its four pockets, the saddle can be perfectly balanced, ensuring the rider's weight is evenly distributed without creating pressure points.

This not only improves the horse's comfort but also allows it to perform its movements and jumps at its best.

Amen to this 🙏

Did you know that D to D measurements is a totally useless way of measuring saddle width? Cos the D rings can be placed anywhere on the saddle.
Pictured are two saddles - one is XW and the other is MW. They both have the same D to D measurement.

That’s a wrap on 2024!
Just want to say a huge thank you to all my wonderful clients - I truly appreciate you trusting me with your horses and I love being part of the journey 🥰

It’s been a busy few weeks fitting saddles, bridles and bits, along with training days and helping out at London International.
I won’t be returning to work till the 7th Jan 2025 but I will be checking my phone now and then to get people booked in for the new year.

I am working through the remainder of my messages to answer and thank you for your patience.

Lastly I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥳

Love from Abby 🧑‍🎄🏇

Those of you who read horse and rider may have already spotted this in previous issues but I am proud to say I was asked to feature in some of their editions of Ask The Expert. Here is the latest issue with my article in it 🤩

Flocking 😊 and over flocking 😩

When adding flock a saddle fitter must be careful not to over flock the saddle (add too much flocking). Adding too much flocking to the saddle will create a hard panel and stretch the leather - not to mention make it uncomfortable for your horse!
Although a flocked panel is a wonderful tool to be able to adjust and try to make your saddle fit better, sometimes it just can’t be flocked to fit. When a panel is over flocked to try and “make” it fit it will likely be a poor solution for the horse.

Example of a saddle that had previously been over flocked.
Picture 1 is one panel over flocked and the other flocked normally.
Picture 2 is the amount of flocking you can see was pulled out was just from the over flocking of the back panel 😱

Want to try a jump saddle but just not sure where to start or what might suit you and your horse? Here at AD Saddlery we have a large range of saddles to try. In most instances we are also able to offer a week’s trial on your favourite saddle so you can really make sure it’s the best fit for both you and your horse.
