Frequently asked questions

How often should I replace my horse's tack?
There is no fixed replacement schedule for tack — the key is regular inspection and maintenance. Leather should be cleaned and conditioned regularly and inspected for cracking, stitching failure, or weak points. Synthetic tack is easier to maintain but can degrade over time. Stirrup leathers, girths, and bridles should be checked before every ride. Replace any item that shows signs of significant wear or structural weakness, as failing tack can be dangerous.
How do I know if my saddle fits correctly?
A well-fitting saddle sits level on the horse's back, does not rock or tip, and allows at least two to three fingers of clearance at the pommel when the rider is seated. The panels should make even contact along the horse's back with no bridging or uneven pressure. Signs of poor fit include uneven sweat marks, white hairs, muscle soreness, or resistance under saddle. A qualified saddle fitter can carry out a full fitting assessment — search for saddlers near Cartmel on The Digital Yard.
What should I look for when buying a bridle?
When buying a bridle, consider the horse's head shape and size, the discipline you ride, and the bit type you use. Look for quality stitching, well-finished leather or durable synthetic materials, and adjustable cheekpieces and noseband. Check that buckles and keepers are secure. It is worth visiting a tack shop in person so you can check the fit on your horse before purchasing.
Do tack shops in Cartmel offer saddle fitting services?
Many tack shops work alongside qualified saddle fitters or employ fitters in-house. Some shops will fit a saddle on your horse as part of the purchase price, while others charge a separate fitting fee. It is always worth asking before you buy. Browse tack shops and saddlers near Cartmel on The Digital Yard to find providers who offer fitting services.
