🐴✨ As a saddle fitter, you’re familiar with

🐴✨ As a saddle fitter, you’re familiar with the multitude of points involved in saddle fitting, but let’s hone in on the essentials: clearance, tree width, and balance.

With a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve come to recognize the importance of these key points and I’m excited to share my insights with you. Do what you want with them, but maybe just give it a try and see how it can improve the fit of a saddle ;-). In my latest blog post you can read more about them, but here’s a brief overview:

*Clearance*, ensuring adequate space around the spinal processes, is crucial for the horse’s comfort and movement.

*Tree width* plays a significant role in achieving clearance, alongside factors like the gullet and panel positioning.

Meanwhile, *balance* is pivotal, preventing restrictions in movement and ensuring proper usage of the horse’s back.

Adjustments such as flocking and tree shape changes may be necessary to achieve optimal balance. While various factors influence saddle fit, focusing on these key points can often address most issues, leading to exceptional results in saddle fitting.

When it comes to fitting or adjusting a saddle for your horse, precision is key. Using a flexible ruler is the go-to tool for ensuring accurate measurements. But where exactly should you place this flexible ruler on your horse’s back?
In this reel, Jolanda sheds light on the crucial placement of the flexible ruler.

👉 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟱𝗰𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮
The measurements we take are used to set the treesize to the correct size. That is why it is important to place the flexible ruler on the horse’s back exactly there where we would also place the treepoints of the saddle. We aim to have the treepoints behind the shoulder blade (Scapula) at all times, not only when standing still, but also in movement. As Jolanda shows in this reel, the scapula moves approximately 5cms backwards when the horse extends its leg forward. This is why you should also place the flexible ruler 5cm behind the scapula.

👉 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀?
By carefully taking measurements, you can achieve the optimal treesize, ensuring the horse’s long-term comfort and well-being. The right treesize is instrumental! It enables the horse to:
* Move forward with ease;
* Elevate the withers correctly;
* Engage the hind legs effectively;
* Maintain a light and connected feel with the bit.

👉 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲
How do you determine the perfect fit for a horse? Follow these straightforward steps:
1. Measure with Precision: Position the flexible ruler 5cm behind the scapula, precisely where the treepoints rest, and take the measurement.
2. Saddle Assessment: Open the saddle and measure from treepoint-to-treepoint (or steel-to-steel).
3. Compare and Confirm: Contrast the measurements from steps 1 and 2 using a wing divider. Remember, the correct treesize typically ranges from 1-3 cm narrower than the horse’s measurement.

🐴 The five things I always do when fitting a saddle!

1️⃣ I measure the horse 5 cm behind the scapula, where the treepoints sit, with a flexible ruler.
2️⃣ I open the saddle and measure treepoint-to-treepoint (or steel-to-steel) for the right size.
3️⃣ I compare steps 1 and 2 helps determine the perfect treesize, usually 1-3 cm narrower than the horse’s measurement.
4️⃣ I fine-tune the flock for optimal comfort and support.
5️⃣ I check the saddle on the horse and even take it for a test ride to ensure a perfect fit.

Happy saddlefitting!

When adjusting saddles, consider all options for a perfect fit. Besides TreeClix and interchangeable gullet plates, you can also opt for pressing to change the tree width.

However, be mindful of manufacturer guidelines—usually, the maximum adjustment is around 2 cm. Keep in mind that wooden trees can only be pressed once (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer).
!!Do not use a press to narrow a tree, as the tree will expand back to its original width because of the pressure from the horse and gravity!!

Always mark the size adjustment on the gullet plate with a permanent marker, including the start and end measurements and the date. Now, let’s dive into the accurate pressing process:

𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟙: Open the saddle to access the tree points for measurement.
𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟚: Measure the horse’s width and determine the necessary tree adjustment.
𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟛: Set the saddle in the press. Make sure both arms of the press are secured tightly. Check all bolts and nuts are fastened on your saddle press, to make sure you will press symmetrically.
𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟜: Press gently, maintaining symmetry, and avoid over-pressing or correcting misalignment afterward. Better to press little by little, once you have pressed it too far, you cannot go back.
𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟝: Mark the adjustment details with a permanent marker on the gullet plate: date, previous treesize, new treesize.
𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝟞: Reassemble the saddle and test the new fit while riding.

Feeling a bit stubborn (hey, we love a bit of spirit!) and determined to press narrower? Make a date within three weeks to recheck the fit, to prevent the horse from becoming the subject of this ordeal.
