Well visited saddle fitting workshop in Boxmeer.

April 13, 2013

In cooperation with saddle & tack store Ruitershop Boxmeer, we organized a saddle check day for all interested riders with their horse and saddle. 15 riders participated, which was a full day of work. Several more or less severe problems were found, some poor fitting saddles and some out of center sitting riders. Peter Verberkt of Ruitershop Boxmeer did the saddle checks and gave some advice for improvement, and with our saddle pressure measurement system we made visible how the saddles fitted on the horses while riding, as well as the riders position during riding. Out of center sitting riders were helped with instructions how they could improve their position in the saddle. The saddle check and the measurements appeared to be very complementary. Thank you people of Ruitershop Boxmeer for your hospitality and making all the arrangements.
