HOW TO MAKE A TEMPLATE
To obtain a saddle made to fit your horse the following items are required:
A metal coat hanger or a Flexi curve (available on our web site £8.00)
Stand the horse on a flat, level surface as squarely as possible.
Keep the Flexi curve or metal coat hanger in one piece(do not take it apart)
Carefully place on the horse’s back just behind the withers. The sides of the curve should be just behind the shoulder blades (scapular bones) pointing down behind the elbows.
Mould the curve over the wither and get the exact shape of the withers and sides of the shoulders.
Before removing the Flexi curve check that you have measured in the same position on the left and right sides.
Carefully remove the Flexi curve noting which is the left and right side of the horse.
On a piece of A4 paper draw around the curve following the edge that contacted the horse. Put on your name address, contact number with the type and style of saddle you are looking for and fax it to us on 01995 670332, email it to f7lde@live.co.uk or send it to us in the post.
SADDLE ADJUSTING
All Fylde saddles are adjustable to fit different shapes and can be adjusted to fit different ponies. Our saddles are mainly made on a wide Tree and then adjusted to a medium/wide or an extra wide depending on what you order at the time but we prefer to fit them from a template as this gives us a better indication of the fit needed. However please do not order a saddle from D to D measurement as this is impossible to measure as every saddle is different and depending on the amount of flocking the saddle has will alter the fit even if it has the same D to D measurement. Adjusting the saddle does not devalue a saddle in any way but increases the value as they can be adjusted to fit your next pony or if sold can be adjusted to fit the new pony depending it is the right type of saddle for that breed.
