Expert Saddle Fitting & Quality Second-Hand Tack

Our Story

Saddle Fitting Solutions was founded with a simple belief: every horse and rider deserve a saddle that truly fits. What began as a passion for improving comfort and performance has grown into a trusted partner for equestrians across South Africa.

We specialise in expert saddle fitting, flocking, adjustments, and repairs, while also offering a carefully curated selection of second‑hand saddles and tack. Each item is inspected for quality and fit, giving riders affordable access to trusted gear with the reassurance of a 7‑day trial period.

Our approach blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation—such as the optional Estride Harmony pressure pad, which allows you to see your saddle fit in real time and provides an unbiased opinion on pressure distribution.

At the heart of our story is a commitment to authenticity, transparency, and customer trust. Whether it’s finding the right saddle, adjusting flocking for comfort, or extending the life of your tack, we’re here to support horse and rider in achieving harmony, stride after stride.

What our riders say

My angel has always had saddle fitters and expensive saddles. Despite regular checks and even purchasing two different saddles, she continued to struggle to work "up". Her last saddle was costly and checked often, yet she began showing signs of back pain. I was incredibly fortunate that Saddle Fitting Solutions were able to come out the very same day I called. They had a second-hand saddle that fit her beautifully, and the change was immediate - her frame lifted, and she was finally able to start working up in front.

The team has truly transformed our lives and happiness. I'm deeply grateful to Saddle Fitting Solutions for their quick response and for finding a perfectly fitting second-hand saddle at a fair price. She feels like a completely different horse, able to work in the correct frame and collection for the higher grades.

Cinderella needed a glass slipper to become a princess - just as your horse needs a properly fitting saddle to bring out their best performance. If you're looking for a team to turn your horse into the prince or princess they were meant to be, Saddle Fitting Solutions are the team you need.

I cannot thank them enough for the time, work, expertise, and experience they have dedicated to our horses. Always willing to help, always ready with advice, and always mindful of my budget. I can't imagine a better team to have my horses' backs.
