Even the most beautifully made saddle can cause discomfort if it doesn’t fit your horse properly.
An ill-fitting saddle puts pressure where it shouldn’t, restricts movement, and over time, can lead to pain, resistance, and long-term issues.
Saddle fitting is about more than just avoiding problems—it’s about helping your horse move freely, comfortably, and confidently.

If your horse is showing resistance under saddle, this is the place to start.
Let’s make sure your saddle supports—not hinders—the ride.

Tension Tells a Story
Horses don’t lie and they don't complain—they compensate. That pinned ear when saddling, that shortened stride, or that subtle brace when turning? It’s their way of saying, “something doesn’t feel right.”
Equine massage helps uncover those silent stories. By releasing tension and restoring balance, your horse can move more freely, more comfortably, and more willingly.

✨ Let’s help your horse feel better, not just work better! Send me a message and let's discuss how I can help.

Change can be hard. It’s natural to feel attached to the saddle that’s been with you through thick and thin—maybe it was your first big investment, or it holds sentimental value from countless rides. But sometimes, the saddle that served you well in the past no longer fits your needs—or your horse’s.

Whether you’re looking for a new-to-you saddle or dreaming of a custom design that’s sculpted for your comfort and balance, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect fit for both you and your horse.

Change isn’t a bad thing. It’s an opportunity for growth—for better rides, better connections, and better journeys ahead.

Let us help you embrace the change. Ready to start your saddle journey? Drop us a message or visit our website today!

As we move into the new year, it's the perfect time to set our goals and milestones—not just for ourselves but for our horses and the journeys we share with them.

Remember: the most rewarding paths are often the most challenging. Just like an airplane needs the resistance of the wind to soar, our struggles push us toward growth and success.

🌟 This year, let’s embrace the winds that challenge us and use them to lift us higher. Whether it’s mastering that perfect ride, tackling a new trail, or simply spending more time in the saddle, every step forward counts.

🌞 Let’s Get Ready for Horse Camping! 🌞

Summer is just around the corner—time to gear up for those long-awaited camping trips and trail rides! 🐎✨

Before you hit the trails, take a moment to check your saddle and tack:
✅ Saddle Safety Check: Look for any protrusions on the underside of your saddle, whether it’s a conventional or flexible-panel design like the Evolutionary Saddle.
✅ Inspect Your Straps: Check for wear, tear, or signs of rot in all your leather tack. Don’t let worn-out gear ruin your adventure!

If you’re unsure about your tack’s condition or need advice, don’t hesitate to message me—I’m here to help you get ready for a safe and comfortable ride.

🌟 One of my personal goals this year is to get out and ride more, especially camping trips. What are your riding or horse-related goals for this year? Let’s inspire each other to make this the best riding season yet!

❄️ Brrr... It’s Frigid Out There! ❄️

With temps at -5°F, even the simplest barn chores feel like conquering Mount Everest. 🥶 And let’s face it—if something’s going to go wrong, it’s always when it’s below zero, right? (Frozen water buckets, anyone?)

But don’t worry, spring is coming. 🌸 Soon, we’ll be swapping out those heavy coats for light jackets and trading icy mornings for sunny trail rides. Until then, let’s take a moment to dream about the adventures ahead:
🐎 Freshly groomed trails.
🌞 Warm breezes and longer days.
✨ That perfect saddle waiting to make your rides even better.

Hang in there, friends. The best rides are just around the corner! 💪 Stay warm, and don’t forget to give your horses an extra pat today—they’re enduring this weather right alongside us.

What’s the first thing you’re looking forward to when the temps warm up? Let me know in the comments!

🌸 Spring Is Coming—Is Your Tack Ready? 🌸

As the days get longer and the trails start calling, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at your tack. Does your saddle fit both you and your horse? If not, it might be time to consider an upgrade!

A properly fitting saddle is crucial—not just for your horse, but for you as the rider. When you’re balanced in the saddle, the panels can effectively redistribute your weight, ensuring your horse’s comfort and optimal performance. But if the saddle doesn’t fit you well, it can throw off your balance, leaving your horse to compensate.

If you’re ready to explore new-to-you options, we’ve got you covered!
✨ In Wisconsin: Stop by our shop to sit in a variety of saddles and find the perfect match.
✨ In California: Visit our affiliate in the Modesto area, where you can try out saddles in person and get expert guidance.

Don’t let an ill-fitting saddle hold you and your horse back this spring. Check out our consignment saddles or explore custom options tailored to you and your horse’s unique needs.

🌟 Your next great ride starts with the right saddle! 🌟

Your saddle is more than just a piece of equipment—it's the key to harmony between you and your horse. That’s why Evolutionary Saddles are designed to flex and move with your horse, all while supporting you with the stability of a solid wood tree.

For hard-to-fit or developing horses, these saddles are a game-changer. They allow your horse the freedom to move naturally while keeping you balanced and supported. This ensures both you and your horse can work together in perfect harmony.

Unlike some custom saddles that only focus on the horse’s fit, our designs consider both horse and rider. A poorly fitting saddle can lead to an unbalanced position for the rider, which impacts weight distribution and ultimately the horse’s comfort and performance. With Evolutionary Saddles, you don’t have to compromise.

Ready to explore the possibilities? See all the options available and find the perfect saddle for you and your horse. Your next ride could be your best ride yet!

Many riders invest $10,000 or more in a horse, purchase a high-end truck, and splurge on a living quarters trailer—but then cut corners on the one piece of equipment that directly impacts their horse’s behavior, movement, and performance: the saddle.

A poorly fitting saddle can hinder your horse’s progress, affect their comfort, and even jeopardize their longevity in the sport. Prioritizing the right saddle isn’t just about comfort—it’s about ensuring your investment in your horse and your riding career pays off.

Don’t let a lack of attention to saddle fit undermine everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve. Your horse—and your goals—deserve better.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!So happy to say these words after what was 2024. May this year be better than the last!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So happy to say these words after what was 2024. May this year be better than the last!

You can fit a saddle to a horse, but if the saddle doesn't fit the rider, as soon as they sit down the saddle ceases to fit the horse.

This is what makes saddle fitting such a struggle for many. I've been there.

Now I'm in a position to help both horses and people with my saddle that focuses on the rider as much as the horse when fitting a saddle.

If you and your horse have been struggling with saddle fit, I am here to help. Evolutionary Saddles has developed a correction pad for both conventional saddles and flexible panel saddles.

Contact me if you'd like to schedule a fitting of your current saddles or if you'd like to try out any of the saddles I have on hand . I make house calls or you can come visit the shop and farm. PM me!

Come see me!
