Saddle Adjustments
Not all Saddle brands are built to be adjusted, and some saddles can be adjusted more than other.
​
All Saddles will also require ongoing maintenance and adjustments as both horse and rider composition can change over time.
​
Adjustments can include:
-
Saddle Gullet angle and width via cold press adjustments or interchangeable gullet system
-
Flocking to improve panel contact and balance
-
Orthopaedic adjustments
-
Billet replacements
-
Application of shimmable half pads (where necessary)
​
Starting from $60

Schleese Saddle Sales
Schleese specialize in anatomically appropriate saddles that are ergonomically designed to allow female riders to sit properly balanced and comfortably positioned (pain-free) to provide accurate ‘aids’ to the horse.

“Thank you Ellie, for the first class service you provided myself and my horse yesterday with our saddle fit, the time you spent making sure everything was absolutely perfect was truly appreciated, you couldn’t have done more for us if you tried. I highly recommend contacting Ellie if you are in the market for a saddle fit OR new saddle."

"I recently was in the market for a new saddle. Living rural this is not an easy task. Ellie went and viewed the saddle and picked it up. She then did some minor repair work and flocking adjustment. I sent through the shape of my horse and she was able to make sure the saddle was set at the right angles to ensure I could get a good fit to get started before having a saddle fitter in my area do a final tweak. I highly recommend Ellie!"

Ellie Asphar was wonderful with my horse. She demonstrated great knowledge and understanding about the structure of a horse and how a saddle should fit, not just the horse but rider as well. I did not realize how much the saddle was impacting on me as well. Ari is a large horse being Percheron cross, very broad, and large bone structure. I had a saddle that I thought was adjustable enough for him, but he was never comfortable. Ellie explained why the saddle was not going to fit him, what I needed to look for in a saddle, and has even researched and looked up saddles that will be a better fit. I would highly recommend Ellie and her services, totally worth the time and cost (which is very good for what she does)
