Hi Mercedes

 

I dont have direct experience dont ride at the level where weights are and issue, and can make weight, alas, to easily!

 

However have crewed for a ridier who had weights added onto her saddles tree- but done so it did not interfere with the padding for horse or rider.  This lady also had a weight sewn into the middle section of her horses girth under neoprene on the underside of the girth away from the horses

body.

 

good luck

 

Tamara

Does anyone know about the best way to add kilos to the saddle?

I have with my saddle 68kg and I need to reach 75kg, so I made a pad with extra lead, I didn't like it. It is possible to put extra weight on the stirrups, and which kind of stirrups you recommend me?

I am training a good pure Arab stallion and we won a 50 miles ride last month in Mar del Plata and we also won the best condition cup, so a need to do things properly.

Thank you in advance and sorry about my bad english.
