This week on Evention we tackle an episode dedicated to saddle fitting. It's an important topic and a piece of gear that is often purchased and fitted incorrectly. So this week we have saddle fitting expert Keith Brooks on the show to demonstrate how to go about finding the right fit for both you and your horse. Lastly, stayed tuned next week for Evention's season one finale.
Also, if you haven't checked it out already, take a look at the sneak peak preview of the 2013 Plantation Field International Horse Trials. Evention is proud to partner with this local event and really help it give it a go at being the Best. Event. Ever. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=90PWmp...

The open segment was GREAT, tiny saddle. Seriously, it was the best video I have seen on fit, having a Stubben rep there to go through the basics while not turning it into a sales promotion was wonderful. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for this! This video allowed for me to find the PERFECT saddle, and it's a whole size smaller than what I was told I should be in from trainers. I actually feel stable in my saddle now, who knew that such a thing as saddle size would make such a difference in your riding position?

We put baby powder on the underside of our saddles, then place it on the horse. If it’s even it should fit them well, we always check the other things as well though.

That helped a lot! Thank you guys so much. When I get a horse and then a saddle, I had no idea just a few minutes ago how to check to see if it fits, this helps a lot! Now I will have a better idea and I'll be able to save time by knowing what i'm looking for. Thanks guys!

Really enjoyed this one! I love Stubben! I just bought a 30+ year old Stubben saddle and their customer service was super helpful in finding out more about it. After a reflock it is perfect (and it wasn't even that bad with the original wool).

this video was very helpful for me when i was first learning about saddle fitting and the horses comfort. i recently had to have a custom for my horse because he is just a natrialy very wide horse. the tree had to be custom made to be wide so he could move comfortably. ty for spreading correct education to anyone looking for it!

I ride a schoolie horse and I've always used the one school saddle I first rode in thinking my trainer would know if it fits. So fast forward to this month at pony club camp I was taking up the schoolie horse I ride and the pony club leader ask if the saddle fits I say how I don't know so we see if it fits and turns out that the saddle was putting a ton of pressure on the poor girls spine and her withers I feel horrible for using it and not knowing how to fit a saddle but at the same time I was mad with my trainer for not checking if it fits. So it comes to my lesson day and I explain how it doesn't fit and she just said don't worry about it none of the school saddles fit the horses I hated to but I used it. On the previous day before we fit the saddle I rode Rosie in a fitting saddle and she was excellent never refused a jump or shook her head I can tell a difference when I use a fitting saddle.

theres a pony at my stables called pepsi, and her saddle does fit her but her shoulders are really,like, pushed in, if you get what I mean? theyre very small widthwise and so her saddle keeps slipping forwards so like every half a lesson we have to take her I to the center, get the rider off and push it back. its been a lot better lately though XD

Would be really nice if you guys also explained the consequences of riding in an incorrectly fitting saddle: bucking, rearing, back pain, incorrect muscle growth and how this affects your horse and riding and also how to solve these issue through correct saddle fitting as well as corrective treatment for your horse through physio and chiro treatments. And that most of the time when a horse misbehaves a lot of people forget to look at physical pain and automatically assume the horse is naughty

Dream Destroyer if your saddle doesn’t fit you can always get a saddle fitter to make it fit to them. But if you want to save $500+ get a new one, just depends how much you love your previous saddle

Lesson horse i ride got a new saddle. Its good for him, but me and my friend who were only people to ride in that saddle so far have pain between legs cuz front of siting place in saddle is very hard. I got bruises from it. And horse is more noughty under it.
