I complete this meticulous process in five steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>Step 1: the interview<\/h5>\n<p>Since I like to get the full picture, I start every consultation with an interview. I ask questions mainly about the horse\u2019s body,which may include issues such as previous injuries and treatments.<\/p>\n<h5>Step 2: Palpation and static testing<\/h5>\n<p>I then take into account that information as I examine the horse in standstill position. I start with palpation, which involves using my hands to assess the condition of the horse\u2019s body and identify any differences in temperature, as well as muscle tension and differences in anatomic dimension. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The next step is to perform active tests, including a spine test, lateral flexion of the neck, a wither lift, and a pelvic tilt.<\/p>\n<h5>Step 3: Movement analysis<\/h5>\n<p>The next step involves watching the horse in motion. This helps me to identify any difference in fit, any asymmetries in the pelvis or the body, and whether the horse has a preferred side.<\/p>\n<h5>Step 4: rider information and the current saddle<\/h5>\n<p>Since the horse, the rider and the saddle are all inextricably linked, I also make sure to find information about your current saddle and yourself \u2013 including height, weight, training level, and injury history.<\/p>\n<h5>Step 5: the right saddle<\/h5>\n<p>Based on these findings, I then make a selection of suitable saddles, after which you will take them for a test run. As before, I observe the horse and the rider, both in standstill and in motion. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>I make any alterations and modifications required either on the spot or later on, in my studio. If the saddle we choose together turns out to be the right one,  I\u2019ll leave it with you, including the girth and accessories.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f347cf1 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f347cf1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f4c9f6\" data-id=\"7f4c9f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ec8296e elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"ec8296e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f97bda6 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f97bda6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f26f92 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet\" data-id=\"4f26f92\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fade66a\" data-id=\"fade66a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-967b910 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"967b910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Saddle maintenance<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab2c1ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab2c1ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All horses undergo all sorts of changes throughout their lives.
