GENTLY

– WITHOUT MOVING THE GAUGE - PLACE THE GAUGE IN THE SADDLE. (For greater accuracy note below.)

Be Sure to place the Gauge evenly between the Pommel (front) and Cantle (back) of the saddle .

1

Place the saddle on the horse where you put the saddle when you ride.

2

Mark with Chalk/Tape the pommel (front) and cantle (back) of the saddle.

3

Remove the saddle and place the Gauge evenly spaced between the two marks.

NOTE: The reason we marked the front and back of the saddle on the horse is to position the Gauge on the animal is so that these two measurements correspond.

4

Adjust the Center Wings down so the bottom edges have maximum contact.

Simple Check for Saddle Fit

CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE THE SPINE OF THE GAUGE TO THE CONTOUR OF THE HORSE’S SPINE.

FOR GREATER ACCURACY

Adjust the arc measurements on the gauge by the amount shown on the graph, by following the line for the corresponding horse weight down to the left to above the rider weight and then follow that line over to the degree of adjustment. Then adjust the wither and loin arcs by the degree of adjustment noted on graph.

If the front or back wings are slightly raised that is O.K. It means the saddle rocks a little bit and the back will settle in.

Proven by computer interface pressure measurement

BAD IF ANY OF THE CENTER THREE WINGS SHOW ANY GAP THIS IS BAD. …

BECAUSE THE SADDLE WILL BRIDGE AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OVER TIME
