Product Information
The dynamics of horse, saddle and rider plead for an optimal saddle fit that is elusive at best. The horse’s back changes seasonally if not substantially during an extended ride. Saddles age as well as the rider, changing seat, balance and fit. There is no final solution to fit problems, including custom saddles, because of the variables. So Skito has developed saddle fit accessories to enhance fit during the off days. Please use these accessories in conjunction with the best fitting saddle for your animal.
These are shims to be placed inside your existing or new Skito pad.
SHIM USAGE:
- Shoulder pads and front shims are used to fill voids under the tree caused by atrophied muscle, asymmetry, and mutton withers.
- A FRONT LIFT is used to raise or pivot the saddle in front.
- A REAR LIFT is used to raise or pivot the saddle in the rear.
- Center Shims are for low spots or dipped backs
- Rear Shims are for hollows under the rear of the saddle
- Shoulder Bridge shims are used to fill in the hollow behing/below the withers for horses with atrophied muscle or very tall withers.
