Equiscan Computer Saddle Fitting & Pad Analysis Service

Sample Scans 1

Poor Fit

This first scan illustrates a very poor saddle fit. This scan shows high-pressure on the right side of the withers, bridging of the saddle on the right side (saddle is not making contact with the horse's back), points of high-pressure on the left, and an unequal distribution of pressure to the bars of the tree.

 

Good Fit

This next scan is the same horse with a properly fitting saddle. Low to medium-pressure along the bars of the tree, no pressure on the spine, and equal distribution of pressure to both sides of the saddle mean a comfortable fit for the horse.

 

Visually, the top saddle appeared to fit the horse well, while the one one below looked to be an improper fit--Just the opposite of what the computer shows us.

Now you can be certain that the saddles and pads you use are correct for your horse, thereby showing him to perform to his potential and with a minimum of stress.
