The Significance of Saddlefitting

NOT ALL SADDLES ~ or horse’s backs ~ are built equally. Though saddle fitting may seem simple in theory, the reality is that it is an art that consists of many crucial elements to evaluate, all of which directly impact your horse’s comfort, musculature and YOUR riding experience.   This week on No Bucks Given, we sit down with Sydney Sallé, a certified saddlefitter for Stübben, to discuss the importance of saddlefitting including discussing various saddle types, wool vs foam, girth and pad fit,, BUT ALSO what to look for when you're looking for a saddle fitter, advice for buying a saddle online AND alternatives when you live in an area where you don't have access to a saddlefitting professional.    Tune in to learn what you can do as a horse owner to best help your horses through saddle fitting!    For more graphics, video explanations, and behind-the-scenes bites, give us a follow @NoBucksGivenPodcast on Instagram.   This episode was executive produced by Maija Liisa Luttinger and Allie Watson Bayne.
