The Anatomy of Evaluation

Every saddle that enters our collection undergoes the same assessment: observation, measurement, and honest evaluation.

We examine the tree structure, panel, shape , length , blocks and design. Note any damage or where leather shows genuine use versus concerning wear. Assess how the saddle's balance point will affect the rider position (Forward, center or rear balance) and how the tree shape and width will distribute weight across a horse's back.

We ask about your horse , not just breed, but build. Conformation details that matter: short-backed or long, high-withered or mutton-withered, muscle development through the shoulder. We ask about your riding, not just discipline, but intention. The answers shape which saddles in our collection we consider worth your time.

This isn't browsing inventory. It's matching construction to partnership, one careful consideration at a time

Understanding Your Partnership

HORSE, RIDER, DISCIPLINE

We begin with questions. About your horse's conformation and movement. Your discipline, level, and goals. What has worked before, and what hasn't. This conversation reveals what to look for, tree width, panel design, balance point. Your needs guide what we consider.

Evaluating the Collection

FIT POTENTIAL, NOT JUST AVAILABILITY

Every saddle in our collection has been personally assessed, not just for condition, but for who it will fit. We understand tree geometry, weight distribution, and how saddle design affects horse and rider. We only match you with saddles we believe have genuine fit potential for your specific situation.

Honest Assessment

EXPERTISE WITHOUT PRESSURE

If there's a saddle worth your consideration, we provide complete information: measurements, condition details, and honest perspective on fit probability based on what you've shared. If nothing in the current collection is right, we say so. We don't sell saddles that won't work, even when we could.

The Right Fit

CONFIDENCE IN EVERY CONNECTION

When we present a possibility, it's because the saddle's construction aligns with your horse's needs and your riding requirements. Questions are welcomed. Additional information is always available. We're here to ensure you have everything needed to make the decision with certainty.

In Their Words

“

Emily was not only easy to work with, she sold my saddle within 1 week of having it. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to sell or buy a saddle!

Having Emily out to our ranch was the best gift I could give our horses. I feel like as a trainer I know enough about saddles to know if something is working/not working but dont actually have the depth of knowledge to pivot or adjust each saddle. Having an independent saddle fitter come out to watch the horses go, talk in depth about muscling/training, and be able to make long-lasting changes for the horses is such a special addition to our area. Emily is always such a delight to work with and my horses and clients have benefited so much from our first session with her. Her professionalism and understanding of the horse industry coupled with her desire to educate people and better their horses is a gift we are so grateful to have!

Emily Eyles

The Curator

Emily didn't set out to build a marketplace. She set out to solve a problem she'd witnessed for decades: riders buying saddles that didn't fit, wondering why their horses resisted, and people never connecting the dots between poor saddle fit with pain or performance issues.

Eight years of building saddles from scratch and fitting thousands of horses taught her to see what others miss. She reads balance points the way most people read product descriptions. She knows what "medium-wide" actually means through actual measurements of the tree. She understands how a saddle's balance affects a rider's position, and where the riders seat bones should be sitting in the saddle. She can assess what honest wear looks like versus broken trees.

Saddle Sphere was born from that expertise, not to create another marketplace, but to ensure that when a saddle changes hands, it's because it genuinely fits the partnership receiving it.

Her approach is rooted in a non-negotiable belief: she won't sell a saddle unless it fits both horse and rider. This means turning away business. It means some searches take weeks. It means being honest when nothing in the collection is right.

But it also means that when Emily presents a saddle, you can trust it's been evaluated by someone who knows exactly what she's looking at, and believes it will work for you
