Adjustable Saddle Demonstrations
Horses naturally change over time due to age, fitness, training, nutrition, and even seasonal fluctuations. A saddle that fits perfectly today may not fit the same way in a few months. To help ensure long term comfort, whether your horse develops, or you transition to a different horse, I offer adjustable saddles that can be changed as needed. Several Specialized and TW Saddles are in stock and will be available for you to try.
TW Saddlery & Specialized Saddles
TW saddles feature the same patented 3-D fitting system proven worldwide by Specialized Saddles. The 3-D fit system lets you easily adjust the width, arch and angle to achieve the best possible fit. To try one of our TW or Specialized saddles go to our online registration form to schedule an evaluation. The $169 fee covers your first appointment, the set up, and delivery of your saddle and a first re-fit.
