Saddle Service

Our saddle service focuses on finding the right fit for both horse and rider. We measure and fit a new saddle tailored to you and your horse, or check and adjust your current saddle where possible.

Looking for a new saddle?

During a saddle fitting, we assess your horse, you as a rider and how you move together as a combination. You can try different saddles while we determine which model and fit work best for both you and your horse.

For new saddles, we mainly work with Prestige Italia, offering a range of dressage and jumping saddles with various fitting and customisation options. From time to time, we also have a selection of pre-owned saddles from other brands, depending on availability.

Does your current saddle still fit?

A horse changes over time through training, muscle development, age and workload. This means that a saddle that once fitted well may not continue to fit correctly.

During a saddle fitting, we check your current saddle and assess its fit in relation to your horse, you as a rider and how you move together. Where possible, we can make adjustments to the saddle, depending on its brand, model and age.

Adjustments are not included in the consultation fee and will always be discussed beforehand. For saddles that were not purchased through Horse & Balance, we cannot guarantee that adjustments can be made. Any adjustments are carried out at the customer’s own risk.
