Why Buy A Mapping Tool?

As a seasoned bodyworker, I have witnessed significant, lasting damage caused by various saddle issues, including poor fit, overly thick pads, and asymmetrical designs. Additionally, factors such as horses with uneven builds, incorrect saddle positioning, narrow channels, and bars that are either too wide or too narrow contribute to these problems. Saddles that are excessively long can also dig into the horse's hips, further exacerbating the situation.

 

Many people visit the tack store without a clear understanding of what their horse truly needs, often getting swept up in the shopping frenzy. They purchase a saddle, ride their horse, and soon discover that the saddle isn’t a good fit. When they attempt to return it, they either find themselves out of luck or faced with a loss on the trade-in value.

 

The Hills Saddle Mapping Tool concept was born out of the frustration many horse owners’ experience when trying to ensure their saddles fit properly. This innovative tool allows you to easily identify issues such as bridging, rocking, and crookedness. Additionally, it serves as a valuable resource for monitoring the natural changes in your horse's topline over time. Whether you're tracking progress during rehabilitation or simply aiming to maintain optimal saddle fit, the Mapping Tool offers a user-friendly solution to help you keep your horse comfortable and healthy.
