Saddleworld Gympie expands their commitment to perfect saddle fit

Madonna with Saddles

Madonna Hedberg from Saddleworld Gympie is a hands on horsewoman with a keen interest in Australian Dressage.

As a qualified saddle fitter, Madonna understands the impact of the right saddle, correctly fitted, on optimum equine performance, rider comfort and the subtle influence of the aids.

Madonna says, "I have been busy with customers wanting to make sure that their significant investment will result in the right saddle choice for their horse, chosen sport and budget."

"The saddle fitting course that I undertook was very comprehensive and covered all aspects of getting the best result and has certainly given me the knowledge and confidence to help customers make the right decision when it came time for them to change or upgrade their saddle."

"Since choosing the Prestige X Helen saddle for our imported stallion Fiderfurst and hearing the feedback from his rider Emma Flavelle, many of our customers have been keen to have this saddle fitted for their horse. Having them arrive has been really great and now I have the job of ensuring that this saddle will give the best fit for the horse and rider combination."

"It is important for riders to remain open minded and make their decision based on the fit and comfort of the horse as this is the most important aspect for a good result."

"Greater demands placed on the modern performance horse means that the days when any saddle will do are gone. People realise that a poor fitting saddle can result in decreased performance, hard to rectify behavioural problems, pain and/or lost efficiency."

"So much research and superior technology has gone into the manufacture of modern saddle trees, plus the use of high tech materials and special design features to enhance the rider's position and influence. People who have had the same saddle for many years will be amazed by the effect of an improved riding position and rider security - it is a very exciting time for a professional saddle fitter."

"From Prestige Dressage saddles to Ammo saddles for the pleasure rider, Saddleworld Gympie customers are more comfortable with their purchase when a qualified saddle fitter has checked the fit for them and their horse - it is the - not so secret - ingredient to customer satisfaction."

Today's horse people want the best for their equine partners and Saddleworld Gympie will be happy to advise.
