Checking Saddle Fit with Your EQUImeasure

1) Stand the saddle up and rest it gently on its back edge, then hold your EQUImeasure against the bottom. Line up the front edge of the mold with the front of the saddle

2) The first thing you should look for is 1-2.5 inches (2.5-6.4 cm) of clearance between the mold and underside of the pommel. A saddle should never rest on any part of the spine.

3) Check to see if the saddle bottom is making good contact with the EQUImeasure. There shouldn’t be any noticeable gaps.

4) You can flip the saddle over on its pommel and check again for contact from the rear of the saddle.

5) If you are unsure about assessing a saddle’s fit to your EQUImeasure, ask a qualified saddle maker, fitter, or retailer for assistance.
