📣 Important Saddle Fitting Update

As many of you know, saddle fitting has become a huge part of what we do, and we are incredibly grateful for the trust you've placed in us and the growth we've experienced.

The reality of running a small business in today's world is that sometimes growth comes with challenges. We are passionate about helping horses and riders find the right fit, but the increasing volume of saddle fitting appointments has us running from daylight to dark and, quite honestly, it has started taking a toll on our entire team.

In order to continue providing the level of service, knowledge, and attention that our customers deserve, we have made the difficult decision to limit saddle fitting appointments to one appointment per day total, whether onsite or offsite, effective immediately. If one client has multiple horses, we can discuss those needs at the time of scheduling.

We will also be increasing our Wither Tracing Fee to $100, with $50 credited back toward the purchase of a saddle should you decide to buy from us.

These changes were not made lightly. They are necessary to help us maintain a healthy balance, take care of our staff, and ensure we can continue serving the horse community for years to come.

We truly appreciate your understanding, your support of our small business, and your continued trust in Saddle Up Western Saddle & Tack Shop. ❤️

Thank you for supporting local, supporting small businesses, and supporting the people behind the scenes who work hard every day to make it all happen.

Western Breast Collar & Back Cinch Fit Guide | Common Mistakes and Safety Risks

In this video, I demonstrate the correct placement and adjustment of a western breast collar and western rear cinch using a live horse. Proper fit is important not only for your horse's comfort, but also for rider safety.

We'll cover:
• Correct breast collar placement and adjustment
• Proper rear cinch positioning and fit
• Common fitting mistakes
• Potential safety concerns from improper adjustment
• Signs of discomfort caused by poor tack fit
• Tips for ensuring your horse stays comfortable while working

I'll also show examples of incorrectly fitted equipment and explain why these issues can create discomfort, restrict movement, or lead to safety hazards while riding.

Whether you're new to western riding or simply want to double-check your tack setup, this guide will help you understand the purpose of both pieces of equipment and how to fit them correctly.
