It’s probably been like 10 years since I stopped riding in middle school, but this was absolutely fascinating. I never understood how saddles fit! Excellent information and presentation.
This was such a helpful video. Love the detail that was given and how well Rhys explained it. This video gave me more of an understanding than my actual saddle fitter did. Props to Peter Horobin Saddlery!!
Great video! I was just thinking yesterday that I needed to learn more on saddle fitting. This makes me want to dive deeper and look into more outlets to learn more. 💛
I have a saddle that I use on my quarter horse and that fits perfectly and that’s my only English saddle. But when I ride my thoroughbred with the same saddle, when I start to slow her down my saddle starts to flip up and go over her neck and head. So should I get a new saddle, tighter girth, or one of those foam blocks to put on her withers? I’m looking into getting a mono saddle but I’m worried that it won’t fit my thoroughbred.
For thoroughbreds I would try to not get a wide fit saddle and definitely get a saddle fitter in as then you know the saddle will fit for certain. My saddle fitter brought some second hand saddles in good condition when he visited and then we were able to get one off him for not too much money.
Im late here but whats the go for young horses that will grow/change shape? or horses with no top line that will fill out eventually? Is gel pad to bridge temporarily the best option?
Really a good video, easy to understand. Do you think it is possible to do this on line when I am trying out saddles on my horse? I have never been able to get good help here in Sweden so I need to search outside my country. And here you were :D:D
hi, i know im very late to this video but can someone educate me on the difference between a standard flap and a forward flap. i get that one is more forward but i dont understand the reason. im 5'5 and about 141 pounds. i like to ride in a 17.5 size saddle. i HATE having short stirrups. do you think i would thrive in a standard or forward flap?
Foward flaps are for riders with really long femurs. If yours are average you’re probably not going to need a foward flap usually the people who need them are tall
For once someone please choose a horse with high withers and big shoulder bone. Your model horse has the easiest build to fit! Any saddle will fit him.

So glad it helped ☺️
So so helpful! I feel way more confident understanding my own saddle fit and the real importance of getting a professional assessment! Thanks Han!
Getting a second hand dressage saddle this video was very interesting and informative, it was easily understandable :))
I had 2 CAIR panels burst in my old jumping saddle. Made my horse super sore 😔 flock all the way! 👌
Poor thing! I am the same, flock only now!
Cair is truly awful.
I’m early! Thanks for the tips. I’m getting a new horse and I have to look for a saddle for it, now I know how to choose the right one!
How exciting! Good luck :)
Thanks!

WOW this was so informative! He did an amazing job explaining, great video!

I predict quite a few horses with chalk marks after this video. My horse included.
😝
Mine has chalk marks too! 😂😂
Amazing information!! 💓🦄
The horse doesn’t look very happy at 1:36 😂 so cute
8:50 or mount on the opposite side every other time 😄
What brand of breeches do you have on? Cute.
LOVE the saddle shown on the beginning pic!!! What brand is it and where can I get one?? (if it were to itzn of course!). Excellent video too

It would be really good to have more details on jumping saddles, since they lie on the shoulder, so I didn't get how to check them
you check the tree points that are on the inside
Whet did you get your Hores I’m looking everywhere but I cannot find one
Awesome! Thanks xx
my trainer keeps saying my legs are too far forward. I know they are because I need them at the girth. can you help
Your trainer will help you not them

Thanks for the explanation Tim Curry look-a-like hot saddler man!
Ohhh ok now when I next fit a saddle with my horse I’ll draw all over him! JK this was such a great educational subject!
😂😝
Han Equestrian omg u replied! LYSM
I have lady part blisters from sitting the trot in the wrong saddle. Very enjoyable...not
You can get padded underwear. And do rising trot.

Hi i love u
Peach the horse needs to meet Peach the dog
Maybe I’m just imagining it, but knowing that Peach is pregnant here I feel like I can see it... is that possible?

He/she needs to see a chiropractor

I mean, I believe she's pregnant in this video, sooo
