We have a Port Lewis Impression Pad available to hire, to check your saddle fit yourself.

The Impression Pad, when placed under a saddle, will give a visual record of how the weight is distributed through the panels to the horse. It offers a quick and easy way for the rider to regularly assess the fit of their saddle.

The Impression Pad is made from clear flexible vinyl and contains a mouldable putty, which is affectionately called Equi-Dough. It is extremely easy to use; place it on your horse's back, do up the saddle and go for a ride... that's it!  When you remove the saddle, you will have an exact impression of how that saddle fits that horse, with that rider.

The Impression Pad can be rolled out (with a rolling pin) and reused again and again.

The way the hire works:

The cost of the hire is £60 including delivery and return postage in the UK.  You can have the pad for a week from the day receiving it, and at the end of the hire, we will email you a return shipping label to print out and attach to the parcel.

The initial charge is £200, but once the pad is returned in good condition, we will send you a refund for £140.

This hire scheme is for the UK only.
