Fitting FnE Saddles
Fitting a FnE saddle is not that difficult. There are only four processes to carry out:
- Fit the panels to the horse's withers
- Set the seat and stirrup bar to balance the rider
- If necessary modify (1) & (2) to create a small space at the saddle's centre between tree and panel
- Add a minimal depth of curvature shims starting from the rear fixing (usually none needed in the middle as a small gap is required to allow the horse's back to round into the saddle). Shims are rarely used in newer FnE saddles (security numbers starting 04 and higher) due to the different characteristics of the polyurethane tree we now use, compared with the older polypropylene tree.
As the adjustments can also handle asymmetrical horses and riders there are of course endless opportunities to fine tune the FnE saddle to the horse and and rider, or to accommodate changes through a competitive season or whenever it seems necessary.
