Girthy? Head-tossing at the canter? Cold-backed? Your saddle may be the issue. Get a fit check from Equibot before the next ride.
Most of us only call a saddle fitter once a year — if that. Horses change shape with conditioning, age, and the seasons. By the time you notice the symptoms, your horse has been compensating for weeks.
Snap your saddle on your horse. Equibot looks at gullet clearance, panel contact, and tree width — and tells you what to watch.
Equibot knows your horse's breed, build, and ride history. The advice is specific — not generic saddle-fit tips off the internet.
Equibot tells you when something looks off enough to bring in a professional saddle fitter. It's a triage tool, not a replacement.
Most fit problems show up first as behavior — girthy, cold-backed, head-tossing, head-shaking at the canter. By the time it's lameness, you've been riding a sore horse for weeks.
Equibot helps you connect the dots earlier. Photo + behavior notes + Equibot's read = a heads-up while there's still time to fix it.

No. Equibot provides triage guidance based on photos and your horse's history. For actual adjustments, custom flocking, or tree changes you still need a qualified saddle fitter. Equibot helps you spot problems earlier and decide when to call one.
Most experienced fitters recommend a check every 6 to 12 months, or whenever your horse's shape changes significantly — after a layup, change in fitness, or weight change. Performance issues mid-cycle warrant an earlier check.
A clear side-on photo of the saddle on your horse, ideally girthed but unridden. A front-on photo showing wither clearance is useful. A brief description of any recent behavior issues helps Equibot give better guidance.
Common signs include girthiness, cold-backed behavior, head-tossing or head-shaking at the canter, refusing to move forward, white hairs at the wither or back, and uneven or dry patches under the saddle pad after a ride.
Yes. Catalog each saddle in your tack inventory and tag which horses it fits. Photos, brand, model, tree width, and saddle fitter notes are all stored per saddle.
Snap a photo. Get guidance. Ride better.
