Our passion at Easy Fit Saddles is making custom western saddles. We feel that anything worth doing is worth doing well, thus we go above and beyond what most saddlemakers provide in terms of custom western saddle personalization.

Most women don’t know how comfortable a western saddle Built for Women can be! It seems an obvious statement, but women are built differently from men. That being said, why is it that women have been riding in saddles built by men, for men, for so long? We have Saddles Built for Women and yes, a western saddle can be comfortable for women!
Jean and Richie are having a wonderful experience at the world WDAA show in Guthrie Oklahoma.

We really like how you can adjust the saddles so easily to fit just about any horse Also you can replace many parts of the saddle easily. As well as the saddle ages or if I wanted to change the look of the saddle, or make it become newer I can just change out a piece/part. I love the weight of the saddle It’s lighter than my dressage saddle, even so, this makes it easier to put into proper placement on my horse as well as saves my arms Don and I really enjoyed our time with Al and his wife while Al was fixing a loose concho on the saddle Very personable and knowledgeable people The saddles really look fabulous.

Finding a good lightweight western saddle can be tricky. If you are interested in knowing more about what makes a good lightweight saddle you have landed on the right page. A lightweight western saddle is likely to enhance the saddling-up process for you, thereby giving you a better riding experience. However, not all lightweight weight saddles are created equal
Correct Horse Riding Position Aligning your spine, hips, knees, and ankles puts you in the correct riding position on the horse. And, not having to accentuate the angles of your joints any more than necessary…
Riders also come in all shapes and sizes; what works for your friend or your trainer may not work for you. The female sit bones are generally wider than a man’s, big or little booty, lots of natural lower spine curvature or very little, etc, etc. we are all different. Rider fit is very important to your horse; a saddle that doesn’t fit you properly will affect your balance, which will cause the horse to compensate by moving differently.
gh age and fitness cycles, horses change shape over time. Then it’s nice to have an adjustable western saddle that fits your horse. Saddle shims and cable rigging are the main ways to adjust saddle fit on an Easy Fit Saddle.
Proper western saddle fit becomes more critical the more time a rider spends in a saddle, the longer the ride, and the heavier the load. Minor imperfections in the western saddle tree fit that may have little consequence on a short, once-a-week ride can cause significant soreness after a full hard day in the saddle for both horse and rider.

Look at this beauty! Just arrived today. Can hardly wait to try it. Fits great, so comfortableThank you, Easy Fit Saddles and Allen L Hicks.
Just replacing the saddle with a “better” one is usually not the answer. Even if it is a $5000 saddle. “Asking the horse” is also a very poor method. Even if the horse initially seems comfortable it may not be at all suitable.
People at the barn have commented on the drastic difference in the pony since using it. Finally got some photos; they are not the best but I will try for more soon. I’ve been riding…
