hey just wondering what do u wear when hacking in Australia NSW? what do u do in hacking and what do u need for it (tack wise)

[@qingertea3570]

Do they have saddle pads? That would very likely hurt a horses back! They have very thin skin ya know.

[@sadchicken5810]

They are wearing sheepskin pads under their saddles

[@qingertea3570]

Oh okay, you never know. Why would they do that tho, wouldent they want to have a larger saddle pad to look more fancier to get more points? I guess it is not hunter then..

[@qingertea3570]

Oh I see it,

Meadow Saddle Equestrian Center it’s best to show off the horse as much as possible while in the show ring, so a normal sized saddle pad isn’t appropriate for showing. Sheepskin numnahs are much preferred when doing a hunter :)
