FAQ test - Fryso Saddles

Why does my saddle slide back?

A saddle that slides backward can have several causes. This could be due to a tree that's too wide, the horse's build, or the horse's movement. Fortunately, there are several possible solutions.

How often should my saddle be checked or padded?

Saddle panels are filled with wool, which can shrink over time. We recommend having your saddle inspected six months after purchase.

How do I maintain my saddle?

To maintain the quality and suppleness of the leather, it's important to clean and treat your saddle regularly. With your purchase, you'll receive a free Tweespan maintenance product.

How do I use my saddle correctly?

Properly saddling, mounting, and maintaining your saddle is important for your horse's health and the saddle's longevity. We offer practical tips.

Can a saddle give my horse back pain?

Back pain in horses is more common than you think and can have several causes. A well-fitting saddle is important for preventing back pain.

Why do I have to get on with a stool?

To protect the horse's back and saddle when mounting, the use of a mounting aid such as a stool or step is highly recommended.

Can I trade in my old saddle?

If the saddle you want to trade in is current and in good condition, we will take your saddle and you will receive a discount on the new saddle.

What are those slots in my new saddle?

We often get calls with this question. These slots are called "filler holes" and are necessary for filling the saddle. That's how it's supposed to be!

Lora Burger

A suitable saddle is very important. On advice we bought a new Fryso saddle. Our horse immediately started to finish her movements better. I would recommend both the filling service and the fitting service for a new saddle, they are real professionals, come from the sport themselves and see very well what the horse and rider needs.
