Saddle Fitting

Here at the National Saddle Centre we pride ourselves on delivering the complete saddle fitting experience. We understand the importance of having the right saddle for both you and the horse. Jo Beavis, who has over 30 years of experience and is both a qualified SMS Master Saddle Fitter and an SMS Master Saddler, founded the National Saddle Centre in 1992.

SADDLE FITTING

With a range of saddles to choose from, Jo can give you the professional independent help of a Master Saddler to ensure this is the right choice for you both. Our aim is to improve the performance and freedom of movement whilst ensuring comfort for the horse and rider.

You can also bring your horse to us for a saddle check or fitting which allows you to try many of our stock if required.

Jo has been involved with many research projects surrounding saddlery, fitting and performance. We aim to optimize comfort and performance through improvement of the freedom of movement from sourcing the best saddles and products on the market.

NSC EASY FITTING SOLUTIONS

Have you got a problem with your saddle? Is it slipping or moving?

Before you get in touch to make a saddle check appointment, these NSC EASY FITTING SOLUTIONS might help.

ACHIEVING THE OPTIMUM FIT

The team at the National Saddle Centre are constantly working to achieve the optimum fit.

Every horse and rider combination are unique!

We first take time to understand your individual requirements, the direction you wish to take, your targets and ambitions and the subtle changes that can affect the success of the horse/rider partnership.

A full physical assessment of your horse, their conformation and movement are made and recorded, not only for today but future reference. Your horse’s level of training and any issues encountered are noted as this can affect the balance, stability and straightness of your saddle.

Test rides and feedback are recorded to best determine appropriate seat size, seat width and leg position, and when combined ensure rider security and balance. The comfort of the saddle for horse and rider is essential for maximum performance and is a multi-dimensional issue, which is relative to the discipline you are trying to excel in.
