Saddles that move forward - saddle slip- saddle fitting
Sometimes it’s all about the physics…
There’s lots that we can do as saddle fitters to help the saddle not slip forward - but it mostly consists of clamping the saddle in place. Instead maybe we can look at the reasons why it moves in the first place…
Soz it’s filmed in portrait- it was for social media but I decided to pop it on here too.

LeMieux Gel-Tek Girth Review | On My Own Horse | Saddle Fitter of the Year!
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
Curvy, soft, squishy and strokable... The girth, that's the girth I'm talking about. Ok. But is that enough? Is it enough to be made of buttersoft leather? How does the girth actually FIT onto a horse? And does it WORK? Does it GAPE at the front? Does it distribute the pressure nicely? Does my horse love it? Hate it? I take a look at the girth, try it on my horse, ride in it... and then let you...

    Trying to sell my saddle which I had made for my horse and unaltered from new. It’s XXW but the amount of people asking me to measure the D rings and then lose interest when I tell them the measurement. I looked up this video when originally asked to measure the d rings as I didn’t know what they were on about. Im so glad I found this video, which makes perfect sense, yet they still insist on d ring measurements even when told it’s unreliable method of ascertaining the width. I’ve resorted to just sending a link to your video, and have given up arguing the toss with them! Thing is, how do they ever find a saddle that will fit? It’s bad enough trying to find a good fit without having the elusive D ring measurement to contend with! Thanks so much for putting this video out, it’s restored my sanity😁

    Have you got any tips for a saddle that slips back? My saddle fitter basically travels the whole country for her brand and I can't get her until January, but my horse has lost 20kg recently and my saddle keeps slipping back 😩 Any temporary tips until she can get to me? Gel pads maybe?

Im looking for a used Ideal dressage, but Im not sure which model to look for, and we don't have any saddle fitters anywhere near me, in Michigan

    I really appreciate your videos! Very helpful when making decisions about fit. Of course that’s what you do but your clear explanations are so helpful. I love the saddle in the video. Iv got a hard to fit Gypsie/Haflinger. Short back and table top! I know I don’t want a treeless:):)::) Any suggestions on a possible saddle. Im “told” a Duett to s good for draft crosses. Any help is appreciated.

    This is a very superficial discussion of treeless saddles. I think you know that using a pillow as a surrogate for a treeless saddle is absurd. There are some excellent treeless saddles out there that distribute weight quite well. Gee, a saddle fitter trashing treeless saddles. There's a shocker.

    I do have a question. I was always taught wool halfpad should go under the saddle. But when I do it people look at my like I have 5 heads. It’s my underfunding it’s how it is supposed to be used. I assume the shift is because half pads are expensive, and so they put them over the saddle pad to keep them cleaner. But there’s so much more benefit to the wool to be directly on skin. When I asked my stübben saddle, fitter, if I should use a pad with my saddle because my horse needs to gain a little muscle or saddle, doesn’t fit as it should right now, she advised that I was correct and I should use the half pad under my saddle pad m is there any actual difference or benefit one way or the other?
