[RC] Checking saddle fit - Marlene MossTitle: MessageJust to chime in
here on the wonders of the Port Lewis Impression Pad. I really think these
would be a wise investment for every horse group out there. They are
cheaper than having an expert come test a couple saddles with high tech
equipment. And honestly, I think they are defnitely the biggest bang for
the buck to help determine if your saddle fits the moving horse. This is
something that almost has to be ignored until you have the saddle
in-hand.
But the EquiMeasure
is a great tool, as someone else mentioned, to help rule out a saddle that
cannot fit. And in the case of Reactor Panel and Free'n'Easy and some
other adjustable saddles, the EquiMeasure can help you get the right starting
point - from there the wonders of an adjustable saddle help you fine tune.
And an adjustable saddle can take your horse comfortable through the year, and
the years or through multiple horses in many cases.
But in the long
run, the touchy-feely method will always rule, horses and people have
opinions! It's just really nice when we have tools to help eliminate the
obvious or the not-so-obvious without soring the horse or creating white
spots!
