Saddle Fitting, Reflocking & Alterations
At Churchland Farm we offer a personal service in saddle fitting & supply to the competition rider though to the happy hacker.
We fit & supply dressage, show jumping and eventing saddles as well as all purpose saddles for the every day rider.
With a choice of new, made to measure or secondhand saddles in all sizes you can be sure to get the saddles you need or opt for our reflocking and alteraction services to your faviourtie saddles.
On site we have a floodlit outdoor school so that you can bring your horse and try out saddles, we can come to you at your home or livery yard.
Correctly Fitted Saddles are determined by the confirmation (shape) of the horse. It is important to get the saddle in the correct position for the horse's comfort, to maximise weight-bearing efficiency and your riding position. A common mistake is to place the saddle too far forward over the horses withers, creating pressure which could then impede the horses movement and may also cause saddle sores. A correctly fitted saddle will be comfortable for the horse and rider alike.
Saddle Fitting Guide
Firstly, place the saddle forward of the horses wither.
Then slide the saddle back as far as it will comfortable go.
This is determined by the confirmation (shape) of the horse, but the resting point of the saddle should correspond with the lowest point of the horse’s back.
