 Template Guide
  1. Get a flexi-curve or something similar.
     
  2. Find the horse’s shoulder, place the flexi-curve two fingers behind the shoulder over the withers, it should be pointing down towards the girthing area.

     
  3. Press the flexi-curve in firmly, making sure that it is straight on both sides of the horse.

     
  4. Put the flexi-curve onto a piece of paper and draw around the underside (you might want to check this a few times.

     
  5. Write your name, address, telephone number and what type of saddle you require, all on the same piece of paper as the template

What To Expect At A Saddle Fitting

Choosing the right saddle for you & your horse.

If you are interested in trying our saddles with a view to buy have a look at the saddle exchange website and see which saddles you like the look of, you can give us a call or e-mail for  furthur information either directly to me or by calling the Saddle Exchange office.

Once we have an idea of what you are looking for, details of yourself and your horse we can decide between us which saddles we will bring for you to try. Photo's

of your horse's back and a wither template would also be helpful and if you have a  saddle a photo of your horse wearing his/her current saddle ( from both sides) and details of any problems you are experiencing.

 On the day of your fitting  I will template your horse for our records and will have the selection of the saddles you have chosen with me, you can try them and  should  you decide to buy one we would take payment for the saddle plus call out fee. All our saddles have a trial period, 4 weeks for  ReactorPanel and 7 days for Comfort and Native Pony.

Should you wish to return or exchange your saddle during this time you would be given a refund less the charge of £20 per week to cover saddle hire ( ReactorPanle only) . All our saddles also come with a 1 year guarantee on both the tree and leatherwork, please see the saddle exchange website for full terms and conditions.

 We recommend a saddle check within the first 3 months especially in cases of remedial fits as we have found that horses  and ponies will regenerate muscle very quickly when fitted correctly and given the right exercise, because of this we give a free adjustment/re-flock during this time subject to the agents call out fee.

Please feel free to contact me for your annual saddle check, my diary page will give you an idea as to when I will be available. I also have scheduled fitting days at  Lower Burston Farm, Bow, Crediton ,  see fees page for details of what you can expect to pay for services . Please call or e-mail and I will be happy to fit you in, unfortunately I cannot do a fitting without a prior  booking.  I also fit at Bowhayes Farm, Culmstock for students of my good friend Lucinda McAlpine.  I am of course always available for advice via telephone or e-mail as quite often I can make suggestions which may make a call out un-necessary.

Please contact myself on 07753835558 or e-mail Gini@thepainfreehorse.co.uk or alternativly if you prefer the company themselves for a chat directly on 0844 800 8564 (or  00 (44) 1934 626876 if outside the UK) and we will assess your requirements and put your local saddle fitting specialist in touch with you.
