Inline Equine is completely unbiased to your saddle selection, the right saddle will be right for the rider and right for the horse. For a good fit, you must be comfortable riding in your saddle and the horse must feel free to move under the weight of the rider and saddle combined. Naomi has an agreement with Sandale Saddlery (Sunshine Coast) where you are able to trial any of the saddles they have in stock for suitability for you and your horse. As standard we will check the fit of up to (2) two saddles (dressage, jump, western etc).
It is recommended to have the fit of a saddle checked on a regular basis. The horse’s back will continue to change and develop according to its age, feed, training and health. These changes can affect the fit of your saddle and minor alterations are needed to maintain best fit.

What happens during a saddle fit: On average it takes between 1 to 1.5 hours to complete a fitting and Naomi can fit up to 2 saddles per appointment. If you require more saddles to be fitted or assessed just let us know and we can allow additional time. Please be prepared and ready to ride for the fitting. This allows Naomi to assess the saddle under rider weight, which is a very important element of the saddle fit. Ensure your horse is clean, un-rugged and with a bridle in close proximity and you are wearing riding clothes including closed in shoes and a helmet. An arena is not necessary, just somewhere you can walk and trot, and canter if you are comfortable. Naomi will measure the horse, check for any issues and record all details on her report. She will then assess the saddle, make changes as necessary and ask you to try it out.
