SADDLE FITTING CLINIC

Saddle Fitting Clinics

Experience the County Difference

Your horse’s comfort and performance start with precise saddle fit. Learn how to evaluate any saddle on any horse, work one‑on‑one with our certified fitters, and ride the difference.

Limited appointments at each clinic. Group discounts for host barns (6+ riders).

Why Saddle Fit Matters

The saddle is the interface between your vertical spine and your horse’s horizontal spine. Proper fit relieves pressure, frees the shoulders, and supports balanced movement.

Comfort

Reduce soreness, pressure points, and evasive behaviors like tail‑swishing, ear‑pinning, or hollowing.

Performance

Encourage lift through the back, even contact, and harmony in transitions for dressage, eventing, and jump work.

Longevity

Support long‑term soundness by protecting the back and shoulders with a fit that adapts as your horse changes.
