SADDLE FITTING

["JOHN B. AYERS" <ayers@plainfield.bypass.com>]

The shims are inserted between saddle and pad,   and are usually large

enough (washcloth folded four ways) to stay in place.  I for one (Engineer),

am surprised at how well they do stay in place.  I often remove saddle with

pad and put them back on as a unit.

 

Janet is an animal therapist who got into saddle fitting because so many of

her equine "patients" had problems due to poorly fitted saddles.  As a "newbie"

to the sport,  I was SHOCKED at the clinic to see how FEW had saddles that

fit properly!
