FAQs About Horse Saddlery

How do I know which girth or surcingle fits my horse?

Measure from one saddle point to the other, across the girth line. Choose a girth that allows 2–3 holes of adjustment on each side when fitted correctly.

What is a gullet and when should I change it?

The gullet adjusts the width of the saddle to match your horse’s withers. Swap gullets as your horse develops muscle or if you’re fitting a saddle to multiple horses.

Do I need a breastplate or martingale?

Breastplates help stabilise the saddle on hard-working horses or when jumping. Martingales can assist with head position but should be used with proper guidance.

Are synthetic saddles a good alternative to leather?

Yes – synthetic saddles are lighter, easier to clean, and great for wet or muddy conditions. They’re popular for everyday use, schooling, and trail riding.

Can I mix brands for saddlery components?

Absolutely – as long as sizing and fittings are compatible, you can mix saddle pads, stirrups, and girths from different brands based on your needs and budget.
