Train your eye.

Girth your saddle up snug.

Does your saddle have sufficient wither clearance ALL the way through the gullet? (Get on a step ladder and look with a flashlight!) Some horses have long withers and there may not be sufficient clearance farther back.

Does your saddle have sufficient clearance on the sides of the withers, as well?

Is the lowest part of the seat in the middle of the seat? (If your horse is a very uphill mover, the balance point may need to be adjusted accordingly, as with this horse).

Does the angle of the tree match the angle of the horse’s withers?

These points of saddle fitting just scratch the surface, but if the answer is “no” to any of the questions, it means it’s time to call out a knowledgeable saddle fitter.

We ask a LOT of our horses. Proper saddle fit is paramount to horse welfare.

Horses thrive in saddles that are designed to respect their anatomy.

Same horses, same riders, same programs. The only change was the saddle.

The “after” photos were taken between 9 and 14 weeks of being in their Erreplus saddles.

With a U-shaped head plate, a tree that is the correct width for the horse, and flocking adjusted precisely to the horse’s body, pretty awesome things start to happen!

Even with the significant damage and atrophy some of these horses were experiencing, they were able to make remarkable improvement.

I am SO fortunate to get to be a part of their journey! Re-check days are my favorite days!

Delivery days are always the most fun!

Jessica and Hugo chose an Erreplus JH! (I love the subtle blue/green accents!) Hugo is a big fan of the SL panel for his large shoulders. Jessica noticed a difference immediately in his willingness to go forward! The fit for Jessica is also excellent. 🤩🤌

The flocking was adjusted on-site for a perfect fit. The larger channel setting was utilized to give Hugo’s wide spine lots of room. Erreplus saddles are designed to respect the anatomy of the horse, and Hugo immediately showed us that he could feel a difference!

Taking the plunge and changing brands (as well as moving from a foam saddle to a flocked saddle) can be a big leap of faith, I know. Let me show you what a difference an exceptionally designed saddle can do for you and for your horse!

With a rollout plan, as of January 2025 the FEI will be using a new measuring tool to determine the tightness of the noseband. This new tool offers a “pass” indicating sufficient laxity or “fail” indicating the noseband is too tight.

This is a positive step forward as the tool will be used on the front (nasal bone) and not on the side as is currently done by the FEI. The tool has been designed to be more practical and horse friendly compared to existing tools.

The tool will be available to purchase from the FEI therefore encouraging all riders, trainers and coaches to use it to check noseband fit.
