Different horses, same saddle?
One of these pairs should be able to share a saddle but one horse may need more padding than the other. The other two pairs have slightly different angles and it’s enough that different saddles should be used.
Saddle Fit
Making these templates of your horse’s back is a good place to start for saddle fit. This is how I hold them up to a saddle and what I look for. You can order a kit and DIY or haul in to me at Gackle or SE Bismarck/Moffit area for a more thorough evaluation.

Saddle evaluation
This is a cheaper made saddle due to the patched together seat and no ground seat. It was also nailed and stapled together instead of screws. That makes them difficult to take apart and put back together. Repairs are usually always needed. The foam is shot so no cushy for your tushy left on this seat.

Things to consider in saddle fit besides the saddle: 1. Behaviors. What is the horse trying to communicate to you? Know what’s normal for your horse. Observe them, a lot, and write it down. This is part of your horses medical health history that needs to be shared with your vet. 2. BCS(body condition score) Is the horse at an ideal weight and body condition that can comfortably carry a saddle and rider? 3. Have routine cares been addressed? Dental float, regular hoof maintenance schedule, environment/housing conditions. 4. Have medical issues been ruled out? Ulcers, hoof issues, dental issues, joint pain, injury, or any other source disease or pain that could be causing issues under saddle. 5. Your riding & position in the saddle. I’m taking saddle fit and adding a veterinary health professional perspective. There’s so much more to be considered than just the saddle. Visit my website to learn more. #saddlefit #horsehealth #LVT

This is what I’ve done so far: got enough quality sleep, BEMER therapy, ate nutritious foods, supplements, spending time outside in nature, hang out with animals. I have a ton of things I could be working on but I’m allowing my mind and body to rest, my nervous system to balance, so my body can properly detox and heal, so I can feel refreshed and energized instead of fatigued. #wellnesshabits #loveyourself #youdeserveit #youreworthit
The facial expression says it all. Enjoying her morning BEMER therapy at camp and getting a pedi. Working the poker ride at Medora was a good workout for her. Contact me if you want to learn more.

There’s no protocol for the BEMER horse set. Bemer is a gentle yet powerful signal. More is not always better. Observe your horse, they will let you know. My mare likes the low setting best. I had already done the blanket and was finishing up with her legs.
