We get it—booking a saddle fit might not feel urgent.
You might think:
• “My horse isn’t showing any obvious signs of discomfort.”
• “It’s probably fine—I’ve used this saddle for years.”
• “I’m not sure it’s worth the cost or effort.”
But here’s the truth:
Even a slightly ill-fitting saddle can cause long-term discomfort, behavioural issues, or even injury. And many horses show subtle signs of saddle pain long before they show big ones.
What They Are Saying About Their Saddle Fit
Real Horses. Real Riders. Real Results.
Wondering if a professional saddle fit really makes a difference?
Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what some of our happy horse owners had to say after working with Saddle Up & Ride:
“A win-win fitting - finally have a saddle that fits my unusually shaped mare at last AND met Beth. The saddle is a beautifully made bit of kit, patiently tried & adjusted until it was right, not just 'good enough'... and in freezing welsh weather. Beth's calm, thorough way with my historically shy girl made it a simple process. Thank you.” Jane
“Thank you and thanks so much for all your help and advice today! Super service!” Vicky
“Thank you for all the expert advice and for this detailed email.” Naomi
“My mare was much better in the arena with the saddle you left with me. She did one small buck on the first transition to canter then no more. She seemed more relaxed as well.” Heather
"My horse has never picked up the correct canter leg on the right rein, I had put it down to her being a baby, but since her new saddle was fitted she has been getting the correct leg consistently. And she seems to be so much more relaxed, no more napping." Charlotte
