Winning Touch Equine Services
Your horse’s comfort is the foundation of their performance. Many of the issues we
uncover during bodywork sessions, from tight muscles to uneven movement can
stem from poor saddle fit. That’s why we offer advanced saddle fit
assessments using cutting-edge pressure mapping technology allowing you to see
exactly what’s happening under your saddle while you ride.
Our pressure sensing mat is designed specifically to measure how a saddle
distributes pressure across the horse’s back. The system captures real-time data,
showing us exactly where uneven weight or excessive pressure occurs. This allows
us to accurately determine whether the saddle may be contributing to the soreness
or restriction.
Even a well-made saddle can create discomfort if it doesn’t suit your horse’s
conformation or if there have been changes in muscle development.. The pressure
sensing mat helps pinpoint areas where the saddle or pad may be applying too
much force, so these issues can be addressed before they cause pain or injury.
As your horse’s body changes, through training, rehabilitation, or conditioning, their saddle fit can also change. Our technology allows ongoing monitoring to
ensure your saddle continues to support your horse’s comfort and balance,
complementing your regular bodywork program.
Support for Bodywork Results
Our saddle fit assessments work hand-in-hand with equine bodywork. By identifying saddle-related causes of tension or uneven muscle patterns, we can create a more effective wellness plan that promotes long-term comfort and improved performance.
Improved Horse Comfort
A properly fitted saddle allows your horse to move freely, relax their topline, and engage correctly. When pressure points and discomfort are eliminated, your horse can perform more willingly and recover more effectively from exercise or strain.
Injury Prevention
Uneven or excessive pressure from an ill-fitting saddle can lead to soreness, muscle damage, and compensatory movement patterns. Regular assessments help detect and correct these issues early, supporting your horse’s long-term soundness and well-being.
Enhanced Performance and Recovery
When the saddle fits correctly, your horse can move without restriction, resulting in smoother transitions, greater freedom of motion, and faster recovery after work.
