Sometimes I want to scream it;
STOP MESSING AROUND WITH FLOCK!!
By using flock to compensate for a tree width that isn’t correct you can really damage a horse 🐴.

Panels and flock should always be soft and smooth and function the way they’re supposed to; in a symbiotic flow with the muscles which contract and relax.
The tree is meant to be the firm party here, it provides stability and strength and should match the horse’s shape and size.

First alter the tree, then finish the job with nice soft and giving panels.

When the saddle you’re working on isn’t adjustable, MAKE it adjustable.
Our TreeClix system fits to most saddles on the market.

ASKHQ: WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE CHOOSING TO BACK THEIR HORSES LATER?

A: In recent years, many people are choosing to back their horses later than was traditionally done. This shift is largely influenced by growing awareness of the horse’s physical and mental development in these key areas:

1. Joint and skeletal maturity
Horses’ bones, joints, and ligaments are not fully developed until they are older. The horse's spine, in particular, continues to grow and mature up to five or even six years of age, depending on the breed. Riding a horse too early can place stress on immature joints, potentially leading to long-term orthopaedic issues like arthritis or joint injuries.

2. Muscle development
Giving a horse time to build its muscles naturally before introducing a rider helps prevent injuries. Early riding can cause strain or incorrect muscle development, which could affect the horse’s balance and performance later in life.

3. Mental maturity
Horses that are backed later often display better focus and willingness to learn. Younger horses may not yet have the mental capacity to cope with the pressures of training and riding, leading to frustration, confusion, or resistance. By waiting, trainers allow the horse to mature mentally, making the training process smoother and less stressful and the horse’s association with riding more pleasant.

Ultimately, then horses that are backed later may have longer, healthier careers, as their bodies and minds are better prepared to handle the physical demands of riding. Waiting allows for more sustainable development, potentially improving longevity and performance.
