Importance of Proper Saddle Fit Listen to your horse:
If you are noticing discomfort in you or your horse, then it may be time for a professional assessment of how your saddle is fitting.
"It's here!  The saddle arrived yesterday, and it's beautiful and best of all Brenna seemed much happier last night--no fussing, much lighter and softer with better movement through her shoulders, just a happier horse overall!  --Kim Haymond		"Both lessons were much better than last time.  He seemed happier too.  Jeannette even commented that he looked happy.  I am really glad we got that done.  I also felt more even in the saddle."   --Paula Fike from Fort Wayne, Indiana
	Potential saddle related problems include:  bucking, bolting, rearing, girthiness, working hollow, resistance under saddle, slow to loosen up, cold backed, fussiness, cross cantering, wringing tail, etc.
Often riders do not realize their saddle is hindering the horse's use of its back until shown otherwise.
