Properly Fitting Amerigo Saddles

Measuring Horse & Rider

The topline is measured to establish which saddle tree needs to be used. One of the core points of saddle fitting is that the saddle itself must reflect the shape of the horses? topline, so that the saddle fits the horse accurately and allows for the weight of the rider to be carried in the correct area.

The profile of the horse is measured to establish the width of the saddle and the shape of the head iron. This process starts just behind the withers and is repeated at various points along the horses back.

The rider is measured. Leg measurements, height and weight are noted. Detailed information on horse and rider is compiled onto the measure sheet and are used to create each individual saddle.

Winning Details

What makes a performance really great, is the attention to the details. There are the design details both inside and out, that make the special difference.

The saddle tree brings a saddle to life and is the difference between it being just a saddle and an Amerigo! Each Amerigo saddle tree is individually prepared according to the measurements of horse and rider, as are the wool flocked independent panels.

Independent panels differ from many panel systems as they are made in two separate pieces that do not have any gussets or preformed pressure points that can affect the horse. They are filled with a synthetic wool mixture, which is hard-wearing, hygienic and low maintenance. The wool reacts to heat and, when used, adapts itself easily to the shape of the horse and provides a glove-like fit.

Even the girth straps can be placed individually to suit all types of horse conformation.

The latest addition of elegant reinforcement strips to all our Pinerolo and Special, calfskin covered saddles ensures that the edges of the flaps are protected from unnecessary wear, and an extra layer of soft padding under the riders? leg provides even more rider comfort.

The Soul Essense

All of our Amerigo saddles are made with wooden spring trees, and we have a wide selection of specially designed trees to allow us to fit many different types of horses and riders precisely. The reinforced head iron enables us to adjust the saddles accurately when this is required.

Our Amerigo Vega saddle line is made using our own specially created synthetic tree incorporating a tempered steel head iron. The experience gained through Amerigo over many years has gone into the design of the Vega saddle tree which reflects the most popular measurements, and has produced a very flexible saddle that is suitable for many horses and riders. As with the Amerigo saddles, the Amerigo Vega line is made with wool flocked independent panels.
