This Equishop service adds wool to the front of the panels, around the stirrup bars, on Prestige Italia or Renaissance saddles. It provides additional support at the front of the saddle and helps the panels fill the area alongside the horse's withers. We work only on wool-flocked saddles, at Equishop Service Centre, ul.

Who is this service for?
- Horses needing more support alongside the withers, where the panels do not fully fill the space at the front of the back.
- Riders whose saddle needs additional support at the front to remain level and stable in motion.
- Horses whose shape has changed following a break from training or a change in workload, where flocking adjustment may avoid replacing the saddle.
- Owners of wool-flocked Prestige Italia and Renaissance saddles who want to maintain fit between full assessments.
Safety and saddle fit
A front panel top-up does not replace an assessment by a saddle fitter. We add only as much wool as the panel construction allows. Too much can compromise contact with the horse's back, so we do not add extra wool as a precaution. This service is not available for foam- or latex-filled saddles.
How does the service work?
- Order online or contact us to arrange a date.
- Bring your saddle to Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland. See our service information for details.
- We check the saddle model, filling type and panel condition.
- We add wool to the front panels around the stirrup bars and level both panels.
- Your saddle is ready for collection within 48 hours of arrival.
If you are unsure whether your saddle is wool-flocked or whether this adjustment will help, describe the issue before visiting and we will advise on the appropriate service.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the service take?
Within 48 hours of your saddle arriving at Equishop Service Centre. Transit time in each direction is additional.
What is a front panel flocking top-up?
We add wool to the front of the panels around the stirrup bars. This supports the front of the saddle and helps the panels fill the area alongside the horse's withers.
Which saddles can you work on?
Wool-flocked Prestige Italia and Renaissance saddles. Foam- and latex-filled panels are excluded.
Which horses is this service for?
Horses needing more support at the front of the saddle, where the panels do not fully fill the area alongside the withers, and horses whose shape has changed so the saddle no longer sits evenly at the front.
Does it replace saddle fitting?
No. It adjusts the filling within the existing panels and does not replace an assessment by a saddle fitter.
Can the adjustment be reversed or changed later?
Yes. Wool flocking can be adjusted again as your horse's back changes.
Where is the work carried out?
At Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland. Please arrange a date by phone or email beforehand.
