When fitting a horse with high withers, the first question shouldn't just be: *"Is there enough clearance in the pommel?"*

A more important question is often: *"Where is the saddle (tree) placing its weight?"*

High-withered horses typically have a greater distance between the top of the withers and the area capable of supporting load. If tree points are too short, the saddle may not be able to find support on the ribcage/longissimus and instead place more pressure on soft tissues further up that are not suitable to carry weight.

This is one of the reasons why tree point length and width setting, tree shape and saddle balance are so important in these horses. Do you, as a saddle fitter, want to know more? Just send us a message! We’re happy to help.

📩 Pro tip: We start with a new TreeClix Specialist Program group in October, where we will also discuss topics like this.

Small detail, big difference. ✨

Our new TreeClix Felt Rounds are now available separately in the webshop.

Placed behind the screw head, they help protect the leather and prevent screws from pulling through the material. These round felts create a neat, professional finish.

A simple but essential addition to every saddle fitter’s toolbox. 🔧

One of the fascinating things about horses is that the trunk is not attached to the front limbs by bone. Instead, the thorax ‘hangs’ between the shoulder blades by muscles and connective tissues, often referred to as the thoracic sling.

When these structures function well, the horse can lift its trunk between the shoulders and elevate the withers. This is especially important because a horse's back is not naturally designed to carry a rider. Contrary to what many people think, it is not the back muscles that are primarily responsible for carrying the rider's weight. The weight is supported by the muscles of the thoracic sling, which suspend and lift the trunk between the shoulder blades.

Only when the thorax can lift between the forelimbs can the back function as intended and the horse carry weight efficiently and comfortably. This contributes to self-carriage, freedom through the shoulders and can positively influence hind limb movement.

A saddle can either support or interfere with this process.

Tree width that is too narrow or too wide, poor saddle balance, unsuitable panel design, uneven flocking or insufficient bearing surface can all influence how easily a horse is able to lift its thorax and withers.

This is why saddle fitting isn't just about static fit. It's about understanding how the horse moves underneath the saddle and what is the best possible movement for the particular horse you are adjusting the saddle for! Have you ever noticed a visible change in wither lift after adjusting a saddle?

"Whatever saddle you've got, it's important that it is fitted for that horse."

That quote from Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire perfectly summarizes what this webinar was really about.

Together with Centaur Biomechanics and Woolcroft, we investigated a question that we have been hearing for many years:

Do saddles fitted with TreeClix create more pressure under the tree points than comparable saddles set to the same width without TreeClix?

The study found:

✔ No increased pressure under the tree points
✔ No differences in movement patterns
✔ No differences in transitions

But maybe the most important takeaway goes beyond TreeClix itself.

Horse welfare starts with a saddle that fits the individual horse, regular checks and being willing to keep testing and evaluating what works best.

Every horse is different. What works for one horse does not automatically work for another.

We have condensed the webinar into a shorter video, including the key findings from the study, the experiences of a rider, saddle fitter and saddle manufacturer, and the story behind TreeClix.

A few months ago, we spent some time with the team at Albion Saddlemakers Co. Ltd in the UK. 🇬🇧

One of the things we enjoy most is working together with manufacturers who are genuinely interested in making saddle fitting easier and more practical.

Over the years, we've had many conversations with Albion about how TreeClix can be integrated into their saddles. During our visit, it was great to see the result of those discussions in real life. Albion has adapted their pockets to make changing wedges quicker and easier for saddle fitters and offers the option to have TreeClix installed from the factory.

It's always rewarding to see ideas turn into practical solutions that make life easier for saddle fitters and help them keep saddles fitting horses as they change.

One of the things we enjoy most about TreeClix is sharing knowledge and interacting with saddle fitters from all over the world. 🌍

Our masterclasses combine theory, practical demonstrations and real-life horse and rider combinations, giving participants the opportunity to see how small adjustments can influence saddle fit and performance.

Want to join one of our upcoming masterclasses?

📍 October 16th – Germany
📍 November 5th – Germany
📍 November 19th – The Netherlands

More information will follow soon, but feel free to send us a message if you'd like to reserve a spot or learn more.

The car is smoking. 💨

The mechanic walks around it.
Checks underneath.
Kicks a tyre.

“Everything looks fine.”

Would that give you confidence?
Probably not.

Because a quick look at the outside doesn’t always tell you what’s happening on the inside.

So why should saddles be any different?
A saddle can appear perfectly normal on the outside while important information remains hidden on the inside.

That’s why inspecting the internal structure shouldn’t only happen when problems are suspected. It should be part of a thorough saddle assessment.

After all, some of the most important answers aren’t immediately visible.

In collaboration with Kit Hansen from Sadelspecialisten

For saddle fitters and saddle professionals who want to learn more about:
• Building TreeClix into saddles
• Seeing the effect of small adjustments in practice
