✨ The importance of a saddle reflock & safety-check ✨
A saddle reflock is a completely separate service from a saddle fit—but just as important for your horse’s comfort and performance.
Today I had the pleasure of carrying out a full reflock and safety check on this saddle, and the difference is incredible! It’s something both horse and rider will definitely appreciate 😊
Here’s why reflocking matters:
🥕Over time, the flocking can “ball up” (as seen in today’s photo)
🥕This creates an uneven surface and texture
🥕Uneven flocking can lead to pressure points and discomfort, often affecting behaviour and performance
🥕Saddles should be reflocked every 1–2 years
🥕Regular professional checks help keep your horse happy, comfortable, and performing at their best!
⭐️ I’m fully qualified with IASF to carry out saddle safety checks, tree and rivet inspections, full reflocks, and flock adjustments
If you’re unsure when your saddle was last reflocked, feel free to get in touch—your horse will thank you! 🐴
