For Older Horses: Keep Them Comfortable as They Age
Monitor change to prevent pain, backed by leading industry experts
Support Their Golden Years with a Better Saddle Fit
As horses age, their bodies change. Muscle tone can decline, backs can dip, and old injuries may start to show. These natural changes mean that a once well-fitting saddle may no longer offer the comfort and support your horse needs.
Without regular checks, saddle fit issues can creep in — leading to pain, stiffness, reluctance to work, or even long-term damage. But with the Perfect Fit Kit, you can stay ahead of these changes and keep your horse moving happily for years to come.
Gentle Monitoring for Lifelong Comfort
The Perfect Fit Kit is a simple back templating system that helps you track the shape of your horse’s back over time. It gives you a reliable, hands-on way to monitor for any changes that may affect the fit of your saddle — so you can take action early and keep your horse feeling their best.
By taking a few minutes each month to record their back profile, you’ll build a clear picture of their physical development — and give your saddle fitter valuable information to help maintain or adjust your tack accordingly.
Why It’s Essential for Older Horses
-
Age-related changes: Natural muscle loss, weight shifts, and changes in posture can all impact saddle fit.
-
Protect their comfort: Prevent pressure points, rubbing, or back pain caused by an ill-fitting saddle.
-
Support continued work: Whether your older horse is still in regular work or semi-retired, the right saddle fit helps them stay active and happy.
-
Spot subtle shifts early: Small changes can quickly lead to bigger problems — regular monitoring gives you peace of mind.
How It Works
-
Start with a baseline template after a professional saddle fit.
-
Check monthly — take templates of the wither, spine, and the back edge of the saddle (T18).
-
Compare and act — if something changes, share your findings with your saddle fitter to adjust the fit as needed.
A Simple Tool with a Big Impact
The Perfect Fit Kit empowers you to be proactive about your horse’s comfort, mobility, and long-term wellbeing. It’s never too late to make a difference — and your older horse will thank you for it.
