Fitting advice
We recommend having a home consultation visit to ensure correct saddle, size and fit for both horse and rider. When you try a Solution saddle you will receive advice on correct sizing, demonstrations on how to fit, monitor and balance the saddle to any horse and rider and valuable support and advice whenever you need it.
Like any saddle system, the Solution saddle fit needs to be kept under review as the horse’s back changes shape. However, unlike any other saddle, The Solution is easy to regularly fit and adjust at home. Once the simple techniques are mastered, it becomes as easy as everyday tacking up.
Investing in the future
 |
For every SMART™ saddle sold, £50 will be donated by Solution Saddles to The Saddle Research Trust to support continued research into the effects of saddles on horse welfare, safety and performance.
