OK it is that time of year just before show season begins and just before you start gearing up to really put in some heavy training. It’s saddle fitting season. You NEED to have your saddle checked out, refitted, repaired and reflocked. This should be done a minimum of once a year and for you more intense riders every 6 months.

So now the question is who would you have do this service for you?  Not all saddle fitters are created equal. You need to ask for credentials! Most saddle fitting courses are only 2 weeks long, which is sadly lacking in the amount of knowledge to truly do a good job of fitting saddles to your horse.  You need to find a true Certified Master Saddler.

A Certified Master Saddler has gone through extensive training and apprenticeship such that can be found at the Society of Master Saddlers in England. With this type of training and quality you can be assured that your saddle is being fitted correctly to your horse.
