Precise Saddle Fit with the True Saddle Fit Test (TSFT) [NEW!]

Because we do not make, sell, or correct saddles, we have no financial incentive to steer you in any direction.  We simply want what works best for you and your horse.  So we offer a service that enables you to assess EXACTLY how your saddle fits your horse! 

You can order The Impression Pad(c) for yourself under Therapy Tools.

  • Good saddle fit can be elusive and very frustrating for the horseowner.  Saddle making is a fine skill but currently, there is no saddle fitting educational standard in the U.S.  Some saddle fitters are very competent while others are poor yet convincing.  How do you know how good your saddle fitter is?  Very simply-either your saddle does or does not fit both you and your horse.  Add to this that the horse's body is dynamic and not static, changing as he builds muscle in training or loses it on stall rest, you see the dilemma.
  • How can The Impression Pad(c) help?    There is no guessing, no approximations, no human judgment error; you simply see the results!
  • How is this possible?  Made with the same revolutionary material used for dental impressions where measurements MUST be precise, The Impression Pad(c) gives the rider completely objective data that can then be shared with his/her saddler of choice to attain correct fit.
  • How does TSFT work?  Ride in your saddle with this special three-dimensional, diagnostic pad underneath it for 20 minutes as you normally would @ walk, trot & canter (both directions), out in the field or on the trail and you will know not only how well or poorly your saddle fits, but if the latter is true (as it so often is) - you'll be able to see unequivocally WHERE the problems are; the first step in correcting fitment.
  • Investing in a new saddle?  If so, this is a "no brainer."  Use this system to avoid a costly mistake in making your final decision!
  • How can I schedule a TSFT?  Host a TSFT Workshop at your facility.  All the horses will bless you!  Fees are reasonable for this invaluable information @ $50.00 per saddle fit session (plus travel) with a minimum requirement for 3 sessions performed @ the same location unless combined with other modalities at the same time.  Therapy clients receive a discount when coordinated with their horse's session.

Attention:

Saddle Fitters, Veterinarians, Trainers, Competitors, Equine Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists and anyone else who is concerned with proper saddle fit:

You know that the horse's musculature is dynamic and ever changing.  Do your clients and yourself a HUGE favor and obtain this diagnostic item for your OWN practice.  Have it on hand to reuse over and over again, as many times as you like, for as many horses as you like.

It simply doesn't lie!
