Saddle
Fitting
Working with your horses current saddle, and providing new and used saddles.
Optimal Equine believe that saddle fit is a vital part of ridden horse welfare. With improved technology relating to tree and panel design, fit options have expanded vastly, to allow more comfort for both horse and rider.
We predominantly work with 'adjustable saddles', allowing saddle purchase to become a long term investment into your horses well-being.
