Terrible video. If I followed this advise my mare would be in misery. She doesn't even lift the flap to check for bridging and I guess the topic of panel angels for back shape are out of the question? The only helpful advise to the novice was withers clearance and we all know theres more to it than that. If you are trying to fit a saddle to your horse do him a favor and do more research. Do not rely on this video alone.
I'm with disgusted, this isnt a good video to rely on there are better videos.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2mKz0uP_K8 There is alot more steps in finding the proper english saddle and knowing how to fit it properly on a horse. She doesnt even go into detail like the guy on youtube does. Watch him, he is better.
Basic info. I did like how they took care to ensure comfort for the horse. Lots of riders don't and they wonder why their horses are not responding properly.
Okay, wide horse, dressage saddle, what about a thoroughbred with high withers and an English jumping saddle???
