Correcting Asymmetry in Horse and Rider

Most riders unknowingly sit with their weight distributed asymmetrically, and when this combines with a horse’s natural imbalances, it can affect both performance and comfort for horse and rider.

To help riders understand this complex interaction, we’ve created a series of three videos explaining horse and rider asymmetry, how to diagnose these, and how corrective saddle fitting can make a real difference.

As you've seen we use the Seat Bone Shim (SBS) to correct the rider's asymmetry and have used Flair air flocking to adjust and balance the saddle perfectly both front to back and side to side.
