Saddle Mapping & Tool Rental
A clearer picture of your horse’s back. More informed saddle choices.
At SaddleFit Canada, we’re always looking for thoughtful ways to better support our clients and their horses. Our new Hills Saddle Mapping Tool adds another resource to our saddle fitting services, with a particular focus on helping Western riders explore saddle fit and shop with greater confidence.
Whether you’re assessing your current saddle or searching for something more suitable, saddle mapping helps you better understand your horse’s back shape and how it relates to the saddle.
Saddle mapping demonstration
What can saddle mapping help with?
- Compare your horse’s back shape with your current saddle.
- Explore potential fit concerns, including bridging and rocking.
- Take a representation of your horse’s back shape with you when saddle shopping.
- Record and compare changes in your horse’s topline over time.
Two ways to access the tool
During a professional saddle fitting appointment
Have the mapping tool used as part of an appointment with a fitting professional. We can help interpret what it shows and consider those findings alongside the rest of your horse’s saddle fit assessment.
Contact us to discuss availability in your area.
Rent the tool for use at your own barn
Prefer to explore your options yourself? Rent the mapping tool to assess your current saddle or take it with you when shopping for another one.
Contact us for rental rates, availability, and details about using the tool.
Another tool in our horse-first approach
Saddle mapping provides useful information about shape and compatibility. It complements a full saddle fitting assessment, which also considers the rider, saddle balance, clearance, and how the horse and saddle interact during movement.
Our goal is to help you make more informed decisions for your horse’s comfort.
