My name is Diane Sasscer. I am an independent saddle fitter located in Wellington, Florida.
My passion for saddle fitting started over 25 years ago with my first horse. Discreet was a sensitive horse who had a rough beginning. We had hit some "road-blocks" in his training and he was having difficulty moving laterally. A friend suggested I have his saddle checked. I was surprised to learn that my saddle was the culprit causing our progress to cease. Once I purchased a correctly-fitting saddle for my horse, the change in our riding was significant. This experience, and the positive change in Discreet's movement fueled my passion to help as many horses as I could.
My commitment to my clients remains today. Helping horses, Excellent Personalized service and Integrity.
Upon meeting you and your horse at your location, I will review saddle-fitting basics, evaluate your existing saddle or bridle and give you my educated opinion on my findings. I will try to give you constructive information so you may make the best decisions for you and your horse.
Most of my work is done on site. On the rare occasion I need to take your saddle to my workshop to complete service, it is returned back to you in a timely manner. I will inspect the overall condition of your equipment and point out any items that need attention. Once we are in agreement on what is to be done, the work is completed. When I am finished with any adjustments, I request that the horse be ridden to confirm the fitting is correct.
If new equipment is your desire, I can help with that, too. I carry Veritas saddles manufactured in the UK. These quality saddles feature wood trees and wool flock. All of the trees have adjustment capability. I carry stock or can customize if you prefer. Other products available include Ogilvy saddle pads, Thinline, Sprenger stirrup irons and more.
"Love recommending Diane Sasscer and Saddle Fit by Diane!
I became a fan in 2012 and have never
looked back.
Saddles have come and gone horses have come and gone and Diane is always able to accommodate whatever saddle and horse I have at the time! Since I have lesson horses as well as my own competition horse saddle fit is one of those variables I don’t like to leave to just anyone.
What I love most about Diane she not only fits the saddle to the horse she also makes sure the saddle is balanced for the rider. For me it is crucial to ride in the saddles after they have been worked on to make sure everything fits right and Diane is always there to watch as well. She really listens to the horse as well as the rider and takes pride in the work she does. 5 star review for Saddle Fit by Diane!

Diane is the best in the industry when it comes to making sure a saddle is the perfect fit for both horse and rider. Enjoying the ride is a" sure thing" when you're riding on an Albion.

She is absolutely amazing at fitting saddles to horses and their riders, and for multiple disciplines as well.

Saddles are handmade in Walsall using the finest materials, wood trees and wool flock.
This model offers a minimal, compact design while still offering plenty of weight distribution of the rider over the horses back. Great for broader, shorter backed horses and ponies.
Slightly more open balance point allowing riders to find their true position. Single Flap design for a close contact ride. Tree accommodates a broad range of horse types. Panel offers a minimal rear gusset with a three quarter length front.
Monoflap design for a close contact ride with a secure deep seat and centered balance.
The tree point’s angle allows the horse’s shoulder more freedom. Monoflap design for a close contact ride with a secure deep seat and centered balance.
Innovative panel materials are utilized in combination with a upswept panel design to allow more freedom for shorter backed, croup high. The panels are lined with a revolutionary cushioning material - Supracor®, while still maintaining adjustability with a layer of flocking above. This is a fantastic option for sensitive horses. Single Flap design for a close contact ride with a moderately deep seat and centered balance.
This beautiful English girth is designed to help stabilize the saddle so it does not slide forward onto the horse's shoulders.
The proper shape also allows ample clearance of the horse’s elbow, but not too much curve so that the front looses contact, causing a pressure point along the back edge. It features easy to use keepers that resist tearing or breaking and high quality, durable elastic on both ends with chrome roller buckles.
Available in black or dark brown, sizes 18"-32".
Available by appointment most days.
