The Ins and Outs of Saddle Fit

0524_01

No matter what discipline you do with your horse, if you want him to perform at his best, you need to use quality tack that fits him correctly. At the top of that list is your saddle. In the No Worries Club digital download, “Saddle Fit,” Clinton works with Brian Peterson, a saddle engineer at Martin Saddlery, to give a lesson about proper saddle fit. You’ll learn how to choose a saddle that fits you and your horse and important tips to keep your saddle up to par and you and your horse safe. Throughout the session, Brian shares his expert knowledge and the important role saddles play in training and how to tell if a saddle fits a horse correctly.
