The most important thing about
static measures is ? they are just that. Saddles have to fit when the
horse is in motion with the rider atop. Because a saddle fits while the
horse is standing still, may not mean a thing when the horse is moving and the
rider is a factor.
**Lisa, I have been saying this
for years.....and a good test is to have a friend pony a horse with a dorsal
stripe, or in the case of Arabs....a countershading stripe.....ride behind the
horse and watch how the stripe moves side to side, undulates and goes up and
down. It boggles the mind to believe a rigid tree could fit
that.
