A Saddle Story:
Designed by a Horsewoman, for Horsewomen
Hi there, fellow riders! I’m Sue, and I’m here to share how Easy Fit Saddles came to be. It all started with my husband, Al, who jumped headfirst into the world of horses when we met (even though his grandparents swore off them after their farm days!).
Years later, our family was deeply involved in polocrosse, and that’s when we discovered the challenges of finding a saddle that truly fit. Not just for our horses – although that was important – but for our riders. Have you ever experienced sore knees, hips, or back after a long ride? Or maybe you’ve noticed your horse wasn’t quite comfortable either? We have.
We created Easy Fit Saddles, designed with the female rider in mind.
Comfort Reimagined: A Saddle Made for Women
Do you know how most saddles seem to be built for men? Well, we’ve changed that. Easy Fit Saddles are wider where they need to be, narrower in the twist, and have the right amount of padding in all the right places. Plus, you can adjust the seat with shims to get your perfect fit, no matter your body shape or riding style.
The Secret to a Balanced Ride: Personalized Fit
We’ve spent years studying how women’s bodies move in the saddle, and that knowledge is built into every Easy Fit Saddle. Our unique design helps you find that sweet spot where your pelvis is aligned, your back is supported, and you feel completely connected to your horse.
Taking Care of Your Horse: Custom Fit for Every Back
We haven’t forgotten about our equine partners! Every Easy Fit Saddle starts with precise measurements of your horse’s back, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. And as your horse changes over time, so can their saddle – our adjustable features let you adapt to those changes and keep your horse happy and healthy under saddle.
Your Journey, Your Saddle: The Perfect Fit Awaits
Whether you’re hitting the trails, competing in the arena, or just enjoying a leisurely ride, Easy Fit Saddles is here to improve your experience. We believe every woman deserves a saddle that truly fits so you can focus on what matters most – the joy of riding.
We’d love for you to join the Easy Fit family. Experience the difference a well-fitting saddle can make for you and your horse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a different saddle for every riding discipline?
Choosing the right saddle can feel like navigating a maze, especially with many options. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here are some common questions we hear from experienced riders like yourself.
.
.How can I tell if my saddle fits me…or my horse?
A well-fitting saddle should feel like it’s hugging you, with your seat bones naturally resting in the deepest part. If you are sliding around or feeling pinched, it might be time for a different size.
For your horse, check the sweat patterns after a ride. Even sweat marks indicate good contact and weight distribution, while dry spots or patches of heavy sweat could signal a poor fit. Not sure how to measure your saddle? Check out our handy guide for step-by-step instructions.Is a back cinch a must-have?
Not always. A back cinch can be helpful in activities that involve sudden stops and turns, like barrel racing or roping. It adds stability and helps prevent the saddle from slipping. However, leisurely trail rides or pleasure riding might not be necessary.
Do different saddle materials affect my riding?
Yes, to a certain extent. Leather saddles are a classic choice, offering durability and a traditional feel. Synthetic saddles are often lighter and easier to maintain but might not offer the same grip or feel as leather. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what feels best for you and your horse.
