“Top Ten List of Saddle Fitting Considerations to Improve the Horse’s Performance”
1) Alignment of horse and rider spines (horizontal/vertical) to move as one
2) Understanding the comparison of the Tai-chi stand with the rider’s seat
3) Align riders and horses balance points/centres of gravity
4) 26 reflex points that cause negative reactions from the horse
5) Choosing proper girth length and shape
6) Fitting the saddle = fitting the riding helmet
7) Avoid high pressure and allow proper nutrition and oxygen to the muscle (ischemia occurs at 4.67 kpa! Accepted values in the English industry are upwards of 11 kpas!)
8) Fit for Function, avoid “Fit for fashion” or “fit for fad”
9) Saddle pad shapes and materials
10) Combining western function with English fit – the do’s and don’ts.
