Complete Re-Flock & Fitting for Horses in Active Work Around Springfield
When Routine Adjustments Stop Working
If you need complete saddle restoration in Springfield, it's usually because your horse's shape has changed significantly or the flocking has degraded beyond what minor topping can fix. SaddleFit and Solutions provides full removal and replacement of saddle flocking, resetting balance and fit from the ground up. This service includes fitting evaluation before and after the re-flock to ensure the saddle works correctly with your horse's current conformation.
Older saddles or those used on horses in competitive or working programs often develop uneven wear, lumping, or hardened wool that creates persistent pressure points. Instead of attempting incremental fixes that mask deeper issues, a complete re-flock addresses the entire panel structure. Riders notice immediate improvements in horse movement, willingness, and saddle stability once the flocking is replaced and the saddle properly balanced.
Quality saddles in Springfield often outlast their original flocking by years, especially when well-maintained leather remains structurally sound. A complete re-flock removes all old wool, inspects the panel lining for damage, and replaces flocking with fresh material distributed evenly across the bearing surface. This process restores the saddle's original balance and can accommodate changes in your horse's muscling, topline, or overall condition.
Horses in active training or competition benefit most from this service, particularly when they've developed muscle asymmetry, recovered from injury, or shifted weight seasonally. Riders who've struggled with long-standing pressure issues or saddle slip often find that a full re-flock solves problems that seemed unsolvable. The fitting evaluation component ensures that the saddle suits the horse's current shape rather than forcing an outdated fit.

What Happens During a Complete Re-Flock Appointment
The process begins with a thorough fitting assessment to document current saddle position, pressure distribution, and any areas of concern. The saddle is then stripped of all flocking, cleaned, and inspected for structural issues before being re-flocked according to the horse's measurements and movement patterns. A follow-up fitting under saddle confirms balance and allows for fine-tuning before the rider resumes regular work.
