1. Comprehensive Intake
You will receive a link to a detailed 25-point intake form. Be prepared to provide your horse's history, specific fit issues, and a full set of static photos (I provide a guide). Taking the time to provide quality data is the only way to get a forensic result. |
2. Diagnostic ReviewThis stage is powered by my proprietary Master Saddle Brand Matrix, an intelligence bank of brands, models and their specs. Using this tool, I cross-reference the internal tree geometry of your saddle against your horse’s specific back shape to see how they truly interact.
|
3. The Verdict
You receive a detailed PDF report that gives you a definitive answer: Is this saddle a structural match, a fatal mismatch, or something that can be managed? You will walk away with a clear explanation of why it is happening and a roadmap for your next move. |
The Structural Breakdown:
The Tree Architecture: I analyze the internal rail geometry and head shape to determine if the rigid skeleton inside your saddle is mechanically compatible with your horse’s build, posture and back profile.
The Panel Configuration: I determine if the panel's "design intent" is supporting your horse's posture or actively blocking movement.
The Mechanics: I connect the dots between the saddle's engineering and your ride quality to identify the root cause of slipping, bouncing, or imbalance.
What You Get:
A comprehensive PDF Report detailing:
The Verdict: A definitive, unbiased assessment of the match between your horse and your saddle. You will know if your equipment is a structural match, a fatal mismatch, or something that can be managed.
The Architectural "Why": No more guessing. I explain the specific architectural reasons behind the behaviors you are feeling, translating the physics of the fit into clear concepts so you understand the source of the conflict.
The Roadmap: A strategic plan for your next move. Whether the solution requires specific stabilization techniques, maintenance adjustments, or structural modifications, you will walk away with a clear path forward.

Important Note on Scope: This assessment is a forensic analysis of your current equipment. The goal is to identify the problem and provide a remediation plan (e.g., specific girthing changes, flocking adjustments, or repairs).
