Michelle has heard countless stories of riders spending thousands on saddles that end up not fitting properly. A poorly fitted saddle can cause endless problems — for both horse and rider. That’s why we offer our “try before you buy” saddle fitting service.
You’ll be able to:
- Sit in the saddle first and adjust the stirrups.
- Fit the saddle to your horse and check how it sits.
- Ride in it to make sure you feel comfortable and your horse is moving freely.
It’s a simple way to be confident that your saddle truly fits — before you commit to buying.

About our Saddle Fitting Service
Michelle has years of hands-on experience fitting both English and Western saddles. She can show you exactly how to fit your western saddle, bridle, and breastplate correctly – passing on all the tips, tricks, and “do’s and don’ts” to make sure your horse correctly fitted. Michelle can also take detailed measurements of your horse, giving a more accurate picture of fit. From those tracings, we can even custom-make a saddle to suit.
We also offer a “try before you buy” service that takes around an hour and a half.
- You’ll have the chance to sit in the saddle first and adjust the stirrups.
- Then we’ll fit the saddle to your horse, so you can see how it sits.
- Finally, you can ride in it — making sure you feel comfortable and your horse moves freely and happily too.
Before we book a visit, we’ll ask you a few simple questions. This helps us figure out whether we already have a saddle that’s likely to suit you and your horse. It saves time, keeps costs down for everyone, and gives you the best chance of finding a saddle that truly fits.
Please send us photos of your horse as well as you with your horse along with answers to these questions.
