Saddle Fitting
Saddle fitting services by appointment, rain or shine thanks to our Palouse Shelter. We have a 1/2 acre, turf/gravel lot for trailer parking behind our store; safely away from traffic.
Saddle Trials
3-day, paid saddle trials for in-person customers. Sales on shipped saddles are final at this time. We are happy to help with remote saddle fitting questions!
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A SADDLE FITTING WITH HIGH TAIL TACK:
Fittings generally run 45min to 1 hour per horse. We will discuss your needs & concerns, and horse's history. We observe the horse's physical build/fitness, and movement while standing/leading. Our goal is to determine saddle suitability by fitting saddles on your horse with and without saddle pads. Depending on your horse's level of training and comfort/safety, we will cinch/girth your horse and watch them move without a rider. For farm call fittings, we will load the van with up to a dozen saddle possibilities from our inventory, and try owners/other outside saddles as you would like. Owners may choose to gently ride a few saddles during a fitting session(provided there is safe footing and clear weather) then keep a favorite from our inventory for a 3 day trial. (There is no riding at High Tail Tack, due to insurance limitations. (All participation in equine activities during fittings is at owners risk, per RCW 4.24.540)
Horses hauling into the store for fittings need to load and unload safely. Young horses don't need to be rideable yet, but should be saddle broke enough to quietly wear a saddle at home at walk/trot/canter. Underweight, lame, or horses displaying signs of sickness, will sadly need to wait for a fitting until they are feeling better.
If we don't find the right answer for your horse at the time of fitting, we are happy to keep looking for you! We often have consignment saddles arrive which directly sell to our saddle fitting customers, before they are even advertised.
