As the saying goes, "a good horse has a good saddle", which shows that the saddle has a position that cannot be ignored in the harness. How to choose a suitable saddle? It will be analyzed from multiple angles, come and watch!
Every horse is different in height and bone structure, so strictly speaking every horse should have a matching saddle. This can not only avoid saddle injuries on horses, but also effectively prevent mutual disease transmission caused by swapping saddles. The choice of saddle should be suitable for both the horse and the person.
Choosing a saddle usually requires first measuring the height of the horse's armor and the width of the withers with a soft ruler. The general principle is: the saddle pillow should be flat, the size and thickness of both sides should be symmetrical, and the width of the saddle groove should be in line with the bone characteristics of the horse. When trying the saddle, do not put sweat pads, put the saddle on the horse's back, and follow the saddle slot from the rear of the horse to see the light passing through the front. The highest point of the front axle of the saddle should be slightly lower than the highest point of the rear of the saddle. The gap between the arch groove of the front saddle bridge and the elderly should be able to fit 3 fingers, and there should be a distance of 4 fingers between the hip and the edge of the rear saddle bridge when sitting. When choosing a dance saddle, the rear saddle bridge is two fingers higher than the front saddle. The length of the horse's back also affects the size of the saddle, and the correct choice is important to avoid any possible damage to the horse's back from the saddle. If the saddle is too long, the rider will sit too far back, that is, the weight will be on the horse's waist, which will make the horse feel uncomfortable and will also affect the horse's movement.
Barrier saddles are designed to allow the rider to move the saddle slightly forward from the horse's back for easier jumping. The saddle wings are short and the shape is designed to extend diagonally forward and downward. Generally, there are front and rear saddle bags under the saddle wings, which is beneficial for the rider to control the legs when overtaking obstacles. -
