The patented EQUImeasure Kit is an easy-to-use, accurate, and is an economical way to create a 3-D model of your horse's back. The information below has been adapted from the EQUImeasure saddle fitting web site for our customers.
Synergist Saddles uses EQUImeasure to:
Assist in the creation of a new saddle
Evaluate a horse's back for asymmetry
All you need to use an EQUImeasure Kit is an oven, oven mitts, and your horse. The insulated package and heating tray allow up to 20 minutes to elapse between removing the warm EQUImeasure sheet from the oven and placing it on your horse for molding.

Final Recommended Steps for Synergist Saddles:
All photos should be taken with the EQUImeasure form on the horse.
Take a side view photo of your horse with his head up from about 5 feet away showing the horse's shoulder to the hip. The camera should be level with the horse’s spine.
Take an overhead photo of your horse’s spine. Stand behind him on a chair or the back of a truck bed.
Take a photo of the rider holding the horse’s lead, showing a full body shot that can give us a size reference.
Take a girth measurement. Please measure your horses’ circumference all the way around him where the girth would be placed. (Should be approximately 70”- 80”). Closely follow all the general step-by-step EQUImeasure Kit directions.
Using a carpenter level, draw a horizontal “level line” along one side of the form. This will act as a reference for proper saddle positioning and balance. It has been our experience that the form shapes best to your horse when very warm.
If when you place a heated EQUImeasure form on your horse's back it does not conform almost completely by itself, place it back in the oven and heat it up a little longer. If you have to work at getting it to take the shape of your horse's back the EQUImeasure is not hot enough.
Before you ship the EQUImeasure form to us, place it on your horse once again to make absolutely sure that it has not changed shape.

Pre-heat your oven to ~170 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the formed EQUImeasure model on the insulated heating tray on a middle rack in your oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the model and tray from the oven and then, wearing oven mittens, begin to press the model flat. Then return the model and tray to the oven. Repeat this process every few minutes until the model has become a flat sheet. Note: The EQUImeasure sheet may have a few wrinkles (especially near the horse's withers), that cannot be completely flattened. This is normal and will not affect product performance or compromise the fitting process in any way.
The EQUImeasure sheet is now ready to be thoroughly heated and re-used.
