Thank you for this very informative demonstration 👌⭐️ I do have two short back horses & both ASH X QH I have had trouble fitting my 8yr old mare as she has a higher wither and large shoulders So true how the body changes Thank you again 😊😊
So glad to have helped! Saddle sitting can often times be difficult, so the more info you have the better. Best of luck in finding a good fitting saddle, & thanks for commenting!
@@HumbleHeartHorsemanship I have found a saddle that fits them very Well Met the saddler from Newmarket saddlery , Wayne over in Cudal NSW He was so very informative Bring a horseman as well & he’s been in the buisness 53years and sure does know about saddle fit 🙌😊
I found this really helpful! Especially the diagrams that you flashed. I took some screenshots and saved them in my notes app along with some of the other tips you mentioned. Thank you so much! (Loved hearing (what sounded like) a chicken groaning in the background 😂)
Great information. Good horse. 😊 I do have a question though. My horse is sort of new to me and I have been working with a trainer with him. My biggest concern about him is how he acts (sometimes) right before I get on him. He acts like he wants to bite me. Like he’s telling me no. I’m going to do all the things you showed me today but if it isn’t the saddle what else could it be? Once I do get up on him he’s usually fine. I have a lot of fine tuning to do on him but getting up on him is my biggest challenge. I am an older rider and I will not tolerate being bucked off. If you have any suggestions for me please do tell. Thanks so much. 😊
Very good video. Thank you. The only thing I missed was any mention of the bars in relation to the front shoulder. Is that something you considered when putting the saddle on. Or is space between withers and bottom of pomel more important? I was taught to keep the bars just behind the shoulder muscle.
I just wanted to let you know that you just answered my question. I was riding my colt in my Abeta saddle, which was fitting fine. He lost some weight and now it wobbles. Interesting that this is an indication that the saddle is too wide. Good to know.
Glad the video helped! Our horse's bodies are always changing through different stages of their lives, similar to people. Always good to check the fit once or twice a year. Thanks for commenting! 💗
Watch Dry Creek Wrangler School saddle placement. Very informative, many people saddling wrong, including me. Not taking into account concho should be behind scapula
Question for you, when you add a saddle pad under the saddle should the mounting test still work? For instance if it works without the saddle pad should it still work with the saddle pad?
No, I wouldn't try the mounting test w/a saddle pad under it, doesn't work the same. Plus would cause the saddle to be more slipper/defeating the test of it. Hope that makes sense! 😉
How thick is the saddle pad you are using? I think my saddle pinched a little at my pony’s shoulder I am using a 3/4 pad should I get a thinner one? I had a dry spot left and right shoulder
So well communicated! Tank you!
Gosh I kept hearing a weird noise and I finally realized it’s a chicken. Great video by the way.
Haha! Our chickens can get pretty loud 😂
Great information for those without a professional fitter in their area 🙂 Proper fitting tack is SO important!!
Excellent video so informative best video I've seen on RUclips so helpful.
Thank you! Perfectly thorough.😍
Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful
Yay! So glad to hear it. 💗
Thanks so much for this video! I'm going out to check the fit of my saddle on my horse right now!
So happy to help! I know saddle fitting can be a confusing topic at times. Have a great day!

Hi, yes the saddle should definetly be placed behind the shoulders to allow for the shoulder to move freely without being constrained.
I just wanted to let you know that you just answered my question. I was riding my colt in my Abeta saddle, which was fitting fine. He lost some weight and now it wobbles. Interesting that this is an indication that the saddle is too wide. Good to know.

I'll look into it! Thanks!
Can you do a video about what kinds of pads you would use? Thick, thin etc
I absolutely can, great idea! Thanks
Question for you, when you add a saddle pad under the saddle should the mounting test still work? For instance if it works without the saddle pad should it still work with the saddle pad?
No, I wouldn't try the mounting test w/a saddle pad under it, doesn't work the same. Plus would cause the saddle to be more slipper/defeating the test of it. Hope that makes sense! 😉
Does the synthetic cause trapped heat on the horse?
How thick is the saddle pad you are using?
I think my saddle pinched a little at my pony’s shoulder I am using a 3/4 pad should I get a thinner one? I had a dry spot left and right shoulder
So if I have a FQHB 7” and it’s tight exactly where your horses is and can fit 3 fingers in the gullet, what size would my horse need essentially?
