Shoulder Shims

Shoulder Shim

Help your horse move more freely and comfortably with our Shoulder Shims — designed to lift the front of the saddle right over the scapula area for improved balance and shoulder freedom.

Perfect for horses that are downhill-built, low-withered, or showing signs of shoulder restriction, these shims help correct front-end saddle pressure and improve overall movement.

Recommended For:

• Saddles dropping down in the front
• Horses with low withers or downhill build
• Pressure directly over the shoulder/scapula
• Short-strided or restricted front-end movement
• Horses showing resistance or soreness from poor saddle balance

Why They Matter

When a saddle sits too low in the front, it can interfere with the horse’s shoulder movement and block the scapula from rotating properly. This can lead to shortened stride, stiffness, resistance, and discomfort over time.

Our Shoulder Shims help:
✔ Lift and balance the front of the saddle
✔ Reduce pressure over the shoulder blade
✔ Encourage freer shoulder movement
✔ Improve comfort and stride length
✔ Support better saddle fit and overall performance

Whether you’re tuning saddle fit for competition, daily riding, or a changing horse, these shims are an easy way to improve balance and comfort without sacrificing performance.
