About Easy Fit Saddles
At Easy Fit Saddles, we know how important it is to have a saddle that fits you and your horse. We create comfortable, balanced, lightweight, and beautiful saddles. We believe riding is a partnership between horse and rider and that a well-fitting saddle can make a difference in performance and enjoyment.
Through years of playing Polox with my family, I developed an interest in saddle fit. Our daily, fast-paced conditioning rides quickly made us realize that ill-fitting saddles were causing discomfort to our horses. Despite trying saddles from Australian and South African players and local sources, finding a suitable saddle for our thoroughbred horses was always a problem. However, the half-bred Aussie style caught my eye, as it was a lightweight and narrow version of the traditional Western saddle. This fueled my desire to create a lightweight western saddle to enhance both horse and rider’s fit and comfort. Additionally, I was reminded of the specific needs of women that Western saddle makers often disregard.
After trying various off-the-shelf saddle trees, I found that each system had shortcomings. I decided that a modular system was the best solution. This system makes use of tree bars in various seat sizes, then add a swell and cantle of your choice. I spent much time acquiring and testing different polyurethane systems that best mimicked wood. I created a horseback measuring system that efficiently communicated XYZ coordinates of the horse’s back—coupled the measurement with a curing rack that could be adjusted to the given XYZ measurement to form a perfectly fitting saddle tree. I then worked on replacing all the heavy leather parts with more robust, lighter materials available today but keeping the appearance of a high-quality leather western saddle that people love. I added adjustments for both horse and rider to improve fit and comfort for both.
