Buying tack is expensive. It’s easy to spend more than a hundred dollars on a bit and an off the shelf saddle can cost more than $3,000! When you start looking at supplements, the costs really start to accumulate. So how do you know which products are the best to buy? User reviews from equestrians like you provide valuable insights without any marketing hype.

“….after viewing the above captioned saddle-fitting videos, I’m now convinced, more than ever, how critically important it is to have a properly fitted saddle for your horse and for the rider too! On the other hand, I no longer feel even remotely qualified to buy a saddle without the assistance of a certified saddle fitter. When I think of how many saddles I’ve purchased over the years, on my own, I can only imagine how much I’ve contibuted to any problems my horse was experiencing and in turn, how my riding was affected. I recently purchased an old-but-still-in-excellent-condition Pariani close contact saddle and to me, the fit looks good. However, I think I will leave this task of making that decision to the experts before I have my first ride in this saddle. Thanks for posting these very informative videos and now……..off I go to find a local saddle fitter!”
This is the best saddle fitting video I have seen to date.
Good video on saddle fit. It can be so tough to get it right!
