Karl Niedersuss 17" Dressage Saddle

What is Digital Sadddle Fitting?

A saddle pad containing pressure sensors sends signals via blue tooth to my cell phone. Software on my phone gives me a live view of pressure happening real time under your saddle while you ride. An analysis is done post ride to see how your saddle fits. A report can be accessed to keep for future reference or shared with another person.

Why would this matter?

I can tell how your riding, saddle, pads, and girth are effecting the entire pressure on your horses back. We can use this data to look at horse behavior, rider balance, improve training, compare saddle brands, see changes over time, and achive higher scores.

What is the process?

Call or text to talk to me about what is going on. We setup an appointment. The appointments take about an hour and a half. I can bring some used or new saddles with me. I ask for photographs of your horse and I can give you a ball park idea on what kind of saddles to pick up if you wish to shop around. I can meet your brand rep as well and review the saddles they have with them. You can bring saddles on trial and we can look at them. I use traditional saddle fitting methods to determine the best options available for a saddle to use. We can use the digital saddle pad to analyze fit if needed or requested. I provide an indepth drawing of your horses measurements during the appointment to be able to remember what fits your horse. I will continue to stay in contact and support you post visit to help you to shop, discuss any issues you are having, and celebrate any success.
