determining if the saddle fits?
I always hear people talking about how their saddle doesn't fit their horse. I honestly can't say I understand what they're talking about when they say this. Most cowboys and ranch owners that I talked to laugh at this, and I can see why for they just put a thick fleece pad on and the saddle pads it up where it doesn't fit or whatever. But to me it just seems like saddles no matter what fit on a horses whithers and curve around them perfectly, so my question is, how can you tell a saddle DOESN'T fit, for maybe i'm missing something. Like is this obvious to the eye? does anyone have example pictures?
thanks for the advice on the third comment, I will be sure to check my english saddle. I mainly ride western though does anyone have that kind of information break down for a western saddle?
There are a lot of things to be sure of with saddle fit.
1: the saddle shouldn't sit on the back behind the last rib. There is no support here for your weight, and panels that are too long press into the lower back causing pain and (often) bucking, especially in the canter transitions when the horse has to round his back up into the saddle. Weight behind the last rib makes the horse lock its back muscles defensively to handle the discomfort, and hollow their back. It also shouldn't sit on top of the shoulder blades or it restricts the movement fo the forelegs. The weight bearing area is from behind the scapula to the last rib.
2: the saddle can't press on the wither. There is no fat or muscle here, and having the metal or wooden gullet of the saddle press on it is like having something rigid pressing on the bridge of your nose. Painful, and it crushes the skin, damaging the nerves.
3: the tree and gullet needs to be wide enough not to press on the spine or squash the shoulders. A narrow gullet will not leave enough space for the spine to flex when the horse bends - this causes pain and problems circling, cornering and yielding.
4: the shape of the tree should match the shape of the back. If you put a straight panelled saddle on a curvy backed horse, it will 'bridge' - the weight will sit on pressure points at the fornt and rear of the saddle, with no weight distributed between them., You want the weight distributed evenly or it's like riding on a coffee table with four legs - painful once again.
5: the shape of the panels should match the shape of the back. If you look from the back, you will see that your horse's back is either flat or angled. Most horses are angled from the spine down and out, but if the saddle is more angled than the back it will again only touch the back in one place. The better the match of angles, the more the weight can de distributed across a wide area.
That's the most important stuff form the horse's point of view. For the rider, if the balance is off, you'll have a very hard time riding in a good seat. A saddle too high at the front and low at the back will tip you backwards and leave you behind the movement. A saddle that is balanced on the horse's back, with the lowest point in the middle, will help with your riding immeasurably.
I think saddle fit is critical. I have seen, recently, a good horse badly affected by a poor choice of saddle when he went to a new owner. It was too long for his back, the wrong angle, too narrow AND it bridged badly. He went from being a happy ccalm horse to ride to being an anxious hollow horse. And fair enough too. That saddle would have been causing a great deal of discomfort.
There are some pictures below of a few well-fitted saddle with some more commentary.
