Saddlethotic System

Custom insert for precision fit and performance — exclusively for the CP shell. Must be fitted by a trained Newtown Fitter. Compatible with all well-made equestrian saddles.

What it is

The Saddlethotic System is a purpose-built insert that works exclusively inside the Contour Pad (CP) shell to deliver a precision, fitter-led saddle fit. Each unit is custom selected and configured by a trained Newtown Saddlethotic or Newtown Saddle Fitter using medical-grade foams, shapes, and layering. It is designed to make one saddle fit multiple horses — or multiple saddles fit fewer horses — while protecting the horse’s comfort and enhancing the rider’s balance.

This system sets a new standard in saddle fitting, allowing truly horse-specific decisions that improve an already well-fitting saddle. It gives riders the best opportunity to stay in the saddles they love, not just the ones that happen to fit their horse at a single point in time.
