In today's video, I show you how to fit a western saddle to a horse. Making sure your saddle fits is vital to your horse's health and overall wellbeing, as a ill fitting saddle can cause pain, as well as behavioral issues in the horse. I hope you enjoy!

Gosh I kept hearing a weird noise and I finally realized it’s a chicken. Great video by the way.

I found this really helpful! Especially the diagrams that you flashed. I took some screenshots and saved them in my notes app along with some of the other tips you mentioned. Thank you so much! (Loved hearing (what sounded like) a chicken groaning in the background 😂)

I just wanted to let you know that you just answered my question. I was riding my colt in my Abeta saddle, which was fitting fine. He lost some weight and now it wobbles. Interesting that this is an indication that the saddle is too wide. Good to know.

Glad the video helped! Our horse's bodies are always changing through different stages of their lives, similar to people. Always good to check the fit once or twice a year. Thanks for commenting! 💗

@@HumbleHeartHorsemanship I have found a saddle that fits them very Well Met the saddler from Newmarket saddlery , Wayne over in Cudal NSW He was so very informative Bring a horseman as well & he’s been in the buisness 53years and sure does know about saddle fit 🙌😊

Great information. Good horse. 😊 I do have a question though. My horse is sort of new to me and I have been working with a trainer with him. My biggest concern about him is how he acts (sometimes) right before I get on him. He acts like he wants to bite me. Like he’s telling me no. I’m going to do all the things you showed me today but if it isn’t the saddle what else could it be? Once I do get up on him he’s usually fine. I have a lot of fine tuning to do on him but getting up on him is my biggest challenge. I am an older rider and I will not tolerate being bucked off. If you have any suggestions for me please do tell. Thanks so much. 😊

Can you do a video about what kinds of pads you would use? Thick, thin etc

@HumbleHeartHorsemanship 5 ай бұрын

I absolutely can, great idea! Thanks

Watch Dry Creek Wrangler School saddle placement. Very informative, many people saddling wrong, including me. Not taking into account concho should be behind scapula

I'll look into it! Thanks!

So if I have a FQHB 7” and it’s tight exactly where your horses is and can fit 3 fingers in the gullet, what size would my horse need essentially?

@Conny226 Жыл бұрын

How thick is the saddle pad you are using? I think my saddle pinched a little at my pony’s shoulder I am using a 3/4 pad should I get a thinner one? I had a dry spot left and right shoulder
