Saddle Fitting - Saddle Form

Saddle Form
Having a saddle made for you has never been easier
The Saddle Form is the latest in saddle fitting innovation

Just ask us about our new easy to use Saddle Form

The easy to use Saddle Form takes a mould of your horses back making a Peter Horobin saddle fit even better than before.

Three easy steps....

  • Water is used to soften the saddle Form
  • Place the Saddle Form on the horse’s back and shape by hand
  • The Saddle Form is then used to shape the saddle tree


    A photograph of your horse (without the saddleform) is also required.
    The photograph should be taken from a side view to show the shape of the wither and the horse’s back.
    This must be done standing on level ground.
