WORKSHOP: Saddle Fit Essentials for Horse Owners

with Jane Clothier, Balanced Horse

How well does your saddle fit? Do you know enough to spot where it might be causing your horse restriction, discomfort or even pain? This enjoyable workshop will:

  • Provide you with a basic understanding of the saddle's construction, what the different parts are designed to do and why.
  • Show you the principles of how the saddle should sit on the horse.
  • Help you to check your own saddle off the horse - you can bring it along to the course.
  • Guide you in identifying some of the more common problems involving saddle fit with your own horse.
  • Offer suggestions about rehabilitating your horse's back after it has experienced saddle fit pain.

Includes:

  • A look at some of the more popular brands in Australia.
  • Nose to tail: the flow-on effect of saddle misfit.

  • Introducing a few innovative saddles...
