Selecting and fitting the perfect saddle requires years of
experience and a great affinity with the needs of the horse. The weight of the
rider must be correctly distributed to the horse’s back and the saddle must
allow free movement of the shoulder. There are many different saddle designs
available ranging from traditional fixed or sprung trees, through adjustable,
carbon fiber trees and even treeless systems.
The flocking can be traditional wool, man-made fibers and
there are several air-filled saddles on the market.
Whatever the choice of saddle design, it must conform to the
anatomy of the horse, but also the dimensions of the rider have to be
considered. How frustrating to find the
ideal saddle for a particular horse only to find that it doesn't fit the rider.
If one is fortunate enough to have a saddle made then the perfect solution for
both horse and rider is more easily achievable.
Comfort for the rider is also a major consideration for a successful fit.
The equestrian world is awash with different saddle pads and
numnahs to enhance the horse’s comfort but up until now, there has been little
out there to assist the rider. The Derriere Padded Support System which is
incorporated into stylish, designer underwear, for both men and women, has now
filled this gap in the marketplace.
The launch of the Derriere Equestrian range of underwear
into the marketplace, combined with expertise in saddle fitting, has now
ensured that all riders can achieve a perfect saddle fit for their horse and
ultimate comfort for themselves. Equestrian Underwear and Saddle Fitting go hand
in hand to the development of the perfect seat.
