Hi Christine...thank you for viewing our Saddle Fitting videos. I know, timing is everything regarding the jet flying over. You should be able to hear what is being said if you turn your speakers up a bit but what is covered during those moments are making sure the front ball of the saddle is BEHIND the tip of the scapula in the "pocket" area of the horse. Also making sure there is no bridging under the bars of the saddle along your horses back, also discussed in Saddle Fitting Part I
I would love to see the draft tree on her. i have a morgan mare with the same build and am trying to find a used saddle to fit her. I found one that fits the withers but then bridges.
Thank you for the video. I can't afford a custom saddle. I have a saddle King because someone gave it to me and I keep it because it's the only saddle I can put on my draft (Belgium) because it;s light enough. I am 66 and don't have the arm strength I used to have so throwing a regular saddle up is impossible for me. I have one but by the time I get it on the saddle on the saddle pad is so far moved I can't get it right again. So with the Saddle King, I have a problem with the saddle slipping from side to side. We only walk on trails. She has no withers. I don't know what to do. I have resorted to a bareback pad but I am not sure I feel that comfortable with that. Do you have any suggestions?
