The jam in the sandwich approach to saddle fit

Looking at the whole picture, makes Montague Saddles different to most saddle fitters. With experience spanning Classical Riding, rehabilitation of both horse and rider and a technical understanding of both biomechanics and saddle fit, Montague Saddles has the skills to not only check and fit saddles but more importantly to look at the saddle as a dynamic ‘Jam, in the Sandwich’ between horse and rider. Getting the ‘Jam’ right is our opportunity to improve balance, movement and comfort. For some this may be the difference in competition marks, and others to help rehab a horse after injury or enable a rider to deal with their own asymmetries.

Working with Montague Saddles

We believe that the relationship between owner and saddle consultant is as equally important to that which you have with your other equestrian healthcare practitioners. Because of this, Montague Saddles offer a full follow up service, including remedial saddling help, regular saddle checks and flocking alterations. We are also happy to support you with telephone and email assistance in order to achieve and maintain the best results for you and your horse.

If you are a Physio, Farrier, Trimmer, Bodyworker, Vet, Nutritionist or Instructor and have a horse to refer, we welcome referrals in the Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Berkshire regions and adjacent counties.
