Something not quite right? Help us to help you!

Regardless of what type of saddle you use, horses change shape and it is important to monitor the fit of your saddle and adjust it accordingly. Whilst many saddles may not be able to be adjusted, one of the primary benefits of the unique SMART saddle design is that by changing the shims, you change the shape that the saddle flexes around and thereby adjust the fit for the horse and the balance for the rider. As the SMART saddle is fully flexible, it can accommodate this change in pads without creating damaging peak pressure points.

So, if you start to feel like something isn’t quite right with how your SMART saddle is fitting or feeling, or that something has changed, don’t start to panic or think that you’re back to square one and will need a new saddle. This is not the case! Simply get in touch with your local SMART Advisor or SMART Saddles HQ and we will be more than happy to help.
