Rapid scanning

3D digital rapid scanning of the back takes a mere 4 seconds to capture the data that produced this perfect template – just one of the new technologies available that Solution Saddles is benefiting from.

Pressure Sensor Mapping

The advanced technology employed in the computerised digital data analysis software has promoted a degree of accuracy previously unachievable in saddle manufacture and fitting.
Ongoing work in this field is providing invaluable information for the future design of its range of performance saddles.
Solution Saddles utilises state of the art pressure sensor mapping systems during each stage of its design to ensure optimum dynamic fit. Monitoring how the saddle performs as the horse works informs every stage of the manufacture process.

Biomechanical Analysis

During independent research studies using video analysis software, direct comparison with a range of horse and rider
combinations working in a traditional saddle and a Solution saddle demonstrates that the Solution saddle consistently improves performance.

The Saddle Research Trust, a charitable organisation, has been established to scientifically and objectively lead and support research into the influence of saddles on the welfare, performance and safety of horses and riders.

Through collaboration with research associates, the trust aims to provide information and advice to the horse owning public, industry professionals, other charities and those involved in research.

The SRT runs clinics to help horse owners gain an insight into the welfare, performance and safety issues surrounding saddle fitting. The SRT days offer differing scientific measuring systems for saddle fit comparisons including pressure mapping, biomechanical analysis and 3D digital scanning of back shape.
