Re: saddle fit HELP

Dear Shelly;

There is more to saddle fit than being wide enough in the "withers" or shoulders.  I have found it to be important to fit primarily the ribcage under where you sit,  have the proper angle and width for the shoulders, and finally to curve up appropriately for that particular horse's loin shape.  If any of these points are not met, there will be issues after enough miles.  It is even important on a short saddle.
