Red Rae Saddle Fitting Online
Saddle Fitting
When your saddler comes out too see your horse or pony, there is a criteria
of checks that he/she has to go through to assess the horse before selling you a
brand name saddle, or a made to measure saddle of their own. Below you
will see John going through the procedures that are necessary to achieve either
of the options.
Examining the horses back
When I, or any other saddle fitter comes to visit your horse or pony we will
examine your horses back to check to see if there are any problems regarding the
areas around the spine and the muscles surrounding the area, to see whether the
horses fit to have a saddle fitted or made for him/her. If there are problems
however we suggest you either contact your vet or a back specialist who
qualified it that area.

tree profiles the back perfectly from the points at the shoulder all the
way through the twist of the tree to the cantle. |
