When thinking about saddle fit remember to also think about:
-How does the horse move naturally without the constraint of the saddle?
-Does their topline need time to redevelop before continuing to ride if there was poor saddle fit in the past?
-Does the saddle pad sit too tightly on the wither?
-Does the saddle pad have ridges along the spine that cause soreness?
-Does the half pad help or hurt?
-Is the girth working well for this horse?
-Have other avenues like the vet, chiropractor, massage therapy been explored in addition to?
-Is your horse happy when ridden?
- What does your gut tell you? Is your horse comfortable or no? Do you feel like an improvement can be made to an already well fit saddle?
