The BALANCE Saddling System consists of specially designed saddles and pads which, when used together in the way advocated
by BALANCE, form a comfortable 'flexible' and innocent interface between the horse and his rider. The aim being that the
saddle keeps out of the way of the interaction between the horse and rider as much as possible, whilst still providing
comfort and support in the form of good weight distribution and clear kinaesthetic reference points. The BALANCE Saddling
System alone provides a comfortable saddle that is easy for the rider to adapt to the changing needs of an individual
horse or for the needs of a number of different horses, if required. However, horses and riders get the most from the
BALANCE Saddling System when it is seen as just a small part of a supportive environment where they can live, learn and
grow together. In other words….part of a more holistic model of horse care.
In this kind of environment the horse's carer looks at all the influences on the horse from feed, hoof care, stable
management, pasture management, dental care, saddling and of course, the riding itself. The aim being to create a dynamic,
supportive and stimulating 'playground' for horse and human to explore their relationship.
The BALANCE Saddling System has a growing reputation for changing horses with poor, or uninspiring movement into horses
with generous, and even spectacular, movement. However, the reality is that the saddles cannot, in themselves, change any
horses' movement. This simple and logical approach simply removes the blocks and obstacles from the horse and allows,
with the support of the rider, his natural talents to come to the fore. More than anything else, the BALANCE saddles
highlight how bad most other saddles are when it comes to servicing the horse's needs.
