Fitting an English Saddle to the Rider (biomechanics) 

Very good information 👌🏽

Love this! Detailed and informative!

This is great! The visuals and explaining the anatomy help so much!

I love Robin's incredible knowledge of both the horse and the rider. She fit me with the perfect saddle which was also a perfect fit for my horse❤🐎

Very good video! This is a very helpful view of saddle fit. Thanks!

In the 3rd photo of the mis-match or match (which is the match photo), the seat and flap fit her good but if you look at where the stirrup leather is coming down you should see able to tell that her entire leg and foot are being brought to at toward just to let her foot be placed in the stirrup. This very common especially with female riders. We have quite different needs in saddle fit than a male rider. Her ankle to heel area of the foot is not quite in the correct area back under the hip joint, not the hip angle in the front (aka underwear/ bathing suit / bikini line area) where jumpers fold in pelvis. Saddles at cause this slight chair seat with the stirrups attached a little to far forward have the actual stirrup bars attached to the saddle tree too far forward and would most likely fit a male hip anatomy. Male riders have their hip joints (ball&socket joint) balanced in the center on each side of their pelvis and females hip joints are more forward and need a stirrup bar placement that is further back on the tree so the stirrup can help allow the female rider’s leg to naturally come down and back underneath our seat all the way from the hip joints down with out having to force it or hold the legs in position. The rider’s toes should never be able to be seen in front of the knees or it’s really still a slight chair seat position.
