I NEED HELP!!! in saddle choosing?
Hi i need help please!!! I am looking into getting a new saddle. I need one bad! my gelding gets sore after i ride him , We run barrels. I would like to get a treeless bob marshall saddle but its about 1600 for the one i want and then there a hilason thats about 600. i know i wont get the best quality if i would get the one. But i would like ALL inputs! please. Even if its not a treeless what would you recommend.
forgot to say i do use a good pad
i dont use a breast collar on him he is still in a german martingail. I havent really moved it to much around cause you can tell it doesnt fit well casue it doesnt lay down in the back.
Hi!
I would suggest investing in a quality brand used saddle. They are available in a wide price range, and offer the quality reputation at an affordable cost. Also make sure you have the correct tree size. You can easily do this by taking a flexible piece of wire and forming it over your horses’ withers, then trace the wire shape onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out. Then when you go to look at a saddle you can place the cut out into the saddle and see if there are any pressure points! Also dont use tack that doesnt fit. A martingales purpose is to keep the horses head down, but by taking away that freedom of movement your horse may be over compensating and causing strain that cannot be fixed by a new saddle. The horses neck is its balance center, and any restriction can cause all sorts of problems, so if you are going to use one, make sure it fits correctly.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps!
