The TW Saddlery Patented Adjustable 3-D Fitting System
When it comes to saddles, one of the most important factors for both horse and rider is proper fit. A poorly fitting saddle can cause discomfort, uneven pressure, restricted movement, or even long-term damage to your horse’s back. At TW Saddlery and Specialized Saddles , we believe that every horse deserves a saddle that fits perfectly—which is why all of our saddle models feature our patented Adjustable 3-D Fitting System.
This unique system is unlike anything else on the market. Designed to account for the natural shape and asymmetry of a horse’s back, it allows you to make precise adjustments in three critical dimensions: width, arch, and angle. No other saddle fitting system provides the same level of customization, accuracy, and versatility.
Why Saddle Fit Matters
Every rider knows that their horse’s comfort directly affects performance, willingness, and overall health. A saddle that does not fit correctly can:
-
Create pressure points that lead to soreness.
-
Cause restricted movement in the shoulders or back.
-
Lead to behavioral issues such as bucking, head tossing, or resistance.
-
Over time, result in muscle atrophy or uneven muscle development.
The truth is, no two horses are exactly alike. Even horses of the same breed and build may have subtle differences in shoulder size, back width, or topline shape. Just like people, horses can also be a little asymmetrical—one shoulder might be slightly larger, or their back may slope differently from one side to the other. A traditional, “one-size-fits-all” saddle simply cannot account for these natural variations.
That’s where the TW Saddlery Adjustable 3-D Fitting System makes all the difference.
The Only True 3D Saddle Fit System
Our patented technology is the only saddle 3-D fitting system that allows you to independently adjust all three dimensions of fit:
-
Width – Adjusts the spread of the bars to fit the broad or narrow back of your horse.
-
Arch – Fine-tunes the curve of the saddle to match the horse’s topline and spine shape.
-
Angle – Adjusts the pitch of the bars to perfectly align with the slope of your horse’s shoulders.
Because each of these adjustments is independent, you are not forced to compromise one area to improve another. You can achieve a precise, tailored fit that distributes your weight evenly and eliminates pressure points.
Adjustable for Both Sides – Solving the Asymmetry Problem
One of the biggest challenges in saddle fitting is dealing with the fact that many horses are not perfectly symmetrical. Traditional saddles assume that the left and right sides of the horse are identical—but riders know this is rarely the case.
With the TW Saddlery 3-D Fitting System, you can adjust each side independently. For example, if your horse’s left shoulder is larger than the right, you can make slight adjustments to balance the fit. This level of control is simply not possible with other saddle designs, and it is one of the main reasons why riders all over the world trust our saddles for their comfort, performance, and longevity.
How It Works
The adjustment process is straightforward and rider-friendly. Using our system of interchangeable shims and adjustment hardware, you can quickly customize your saddle to your horse’s unique shape. The adjustments are secure, repeatable, and do not require professional saddle fitting services every time your horse changes condition.
Since horses’ bodies can change with age, training, weight, and fitness level, having an adjustable saddle system means you will not need to purchase a new saddle every time your horse’s back develops. Instead, you can simply re-adjust your current saddle for a perfect fit.
