Empathy for our horses is essential for improving their welfare ❤️ The first step is to continuously pursue education and improve our understanding of horses from their perspective. This includes saddle fit! A variety of issues arise from ignorance of equine anatomy, biomechanics, and evolution, and poor saddle fit is a major culprit. Let’s work together to educate our community and cultivate the best partnerships we can with our horses! #schleese #saddlefit #community #education #learn #horses #equestrian #lovehorses #welfare
Our secret weapons when it comes to fitting those tricky back types. While these may not always be the answer, they have saved many appointments!

Many saddles are designed specifically to favor typical male anatomy, yet they are still marketed and sold to riders of all genders. Each rider has a unique anatomical build that must be accommodated when finding the right saddle. If the saddle doesn’t fit the rider, it will never fit the horse, and both will be subjected to a host of issues. Make sure you know what features a saddle has before you buy! Will that particular saddle help or hinder your anatomy and biomechanics? #schleese #saddlefit #design #education #equestrian #horses #research
Make sure you know who’s coming to fit your saddle! Not all fitters are equal when it comes to education and qualifications to fitting the horse and rider. A thorough understanding of biomechanics and anatomy are essential to a successful fit. What other questions do you have for your fitter? 🤔  #schleese #saddlefit #saddlefitter #equestrian #horses #education #learn
Hope this helps someone like it’s helped me ! #saddle #saddlefit #equestrian #horses #fypage
Sometimes it’s easy to feel like all we meet in the horse world is resistance to change. “This is how it’s always been done” seems like the motto. But why is it so hard to move away from tradition? What does it take for us to value facts and evidence rather than opinion? Education is powerful. It is fluid and growing and supportive. But we have to seek it. Running away may seem like the easy option and convenient, but this is not sustainable for the health of our horses, ourselves, and the future of our community.  #schleese #saddlefit #education #equestrian #horses #learn #forthebetter #equinewelfare
Redefining “warmup”… Of course everyone should give their horse the time needed to stretch out and get their muscles moving before going into heavy work. However, many people think their horses need a lengthy period before they’re comfortable going in a proper, engaged frame or able to shake out the stiffness. If it takes a long time just to warmup, this is a sign that something isn’t right. A sound horse should be able to access their full range of motion at a moment’s notice. Did you know it takes 20 minutes for a horse to numb through the shoulder? 20 minutes of discomfort from an ill-fitting saddle, followed by more “relaxed” work is really just a blocking of the body’s signals. Listen to your horse in the period before they go numb. Prevent discomfort, injury, and long term damage. Horses speak to us, we just have to listen.  #schleese #saddlefit #equestrian #horses #equinewelfare #riding #saddles #education #learn
Here at Schleese we know the horse should always come before the sport. We design saddles to be fully adjustable so your horse can have the perfect fit even as their body inevitably changes. Comfort and freedom of movement are huge factors in optimal performance regardless of what you and your horse do in the saddle. Tack fit must work in harmony with all other aspects of your horse’s care. It is our duty as equestrians to take our education into our own hands, share knowledge, ask questions, and be willing to change our minds for the betterment of equine welfare. Who’s with us? #schleese #saddlefit #education #equestrian #horses #welfare #calltoaction
The rampant hypocrisy in the equestrian community is a big problem when it comes to equine welfare. It’s one thing to love our horses, but another entirely to actually meet their needs. Personal success in the ring or our own convenience don’t equate to horse care in line with equine nature. To make real change however, we have to approach one another with empathy and support. Saying what we’re really thinking often leads to more pushback. Sharing knowledge and being open to continuous learning are necessary steps in making a difference ❤️ #schleese #saddlefit #equestrian #change #education #community #learn #teach

Both static and dynamic fit are essential when it comes to fitting both horse and rider! Did you know the horse’s back takes on 9 different shapes while in motion? A well fitting saddle must work with rather than in opposition to biomechanics.  #schleese #saddlefit #dynamic #education #learn #equestrian #horses #adjustablesaddle #design #equinewelfare
