MORE DETAILS: The placement of the saddle on the horse’s back is important to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse’s shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse’s movement. Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously! Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle. This can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back! It’s a good rule of thumb to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing accordingly to ensure a smooth ride. We've found that most horses perform best with a 3/4 inch pad unless performing heavy work like roping.
If you're having a tough time with saddle fit it may be a good idea to check your horse's conformation, specifically looking at their topline. A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and/or downhill builds need correctional pads to ensure proper fit. We recommend Reinsman Equestrian correction pads to ensure your horse’s comfort.
WARRANTY: 10-Year Tree Warranty, 1-Year Craftsmanship Warranty. If at any point your saddle is showing damage, call our customer service team to receive prompt repair and guidance. Please note that the full warranty policy is provided on your saddle.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS Every new saddle has been oiled and then finished with a protective finish, which means you don’t need to oil it for about six months. If you’re riding a lot in dry or variable weather conditions, you should oil it sooner. The protective finish is water-based so your leather can breathe, so do not use detergent-based, solvent, or harsh cleaning products. Rub the leather gently, and do not scrub vigorously with soap and water.
