How to Tell if Your Horse Really Thinks His Saddle Fits: and How His Behaviour Shows You if It Doesn't Ms Jill Southern 1st edition

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how much you try to improve your horse?s way of going, it?s a constant uphill struggle? I did until I found out the saddle I was using was constantly working against us. What I didn?t expect was, once we found a comfortable saddle, other things changed too. My horse became more comfortable and compliant to ride and train even when he wasn?t wearing it. Looking back, I now also realise that most of the horses I have ridden since childhood were being affected by uncomfortable saddles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It?s true, there are other things that can prevent a horse going at his best but the saddle is often the last thing to be considered when perhaps it should be one of the first. I hope you will take this brief guide to heart and seriously compare it?s contents to the behaviour of your own horse and ask yourself, is he trying to tell you something?
