I know you said to be
private, but I only get the digest…
Have you considered that
the saddle, without a rider, might move around or flop a bit more than when a
rider’s weight is in it? I know my saddle on my horse moves more forward
when I lunge the horse, and the rear lifts a bit, and she’ll buck. My
weight keeps that from happening when I’m in the saddle.
Just a thought,
Kathy
My horse is so difficult!
I have loved all the helpful suggestions you guys have given with saddles
though!
I put the saddle on my horse....he is fine.....I get on he is fine.....we ride
a bit. Even though the saddle
does not appear to fit he is fine when I am close to him. (maybe
as to not hurt me?) I try to lunge him with the saddle on and he starts bucking
and running then stops and walks towards me. I get on him and he is fine. Then
I take the saddle off of him and lunge him. he lunges
perfect without it. I thought maybe he didn't like the saddle on while I lunge
him. I put on a heavy duty bareback pad then I also tried a surcingle
and he was fine lunging with those. I have narrowed this all down to saddle fit
issues. Do you agree? Please email me privately so as not to annoy ridecamp any further with my issues.
