[RC] polish arabs and saddle fit - Ann Blankenship
<snip> And I would have to respectively disagree with
you. If the rider is out of balance, not centered and not comfortable, the
horse cannot move correctly. Fit and comfort for both horse and rider are
equally important, IMHOs
And I would take this one step further by saying that you
can have the perfect saddle that fits both you and your horse… but if you
don’t sit correctly, the horse cannot move correctly and his back (and
actually his whole body) will suffer. I am FAR from a perfect rider... really,
really far, and I know I interfere with my horse’s ability to do her
best. I’m trying to fix that a little bit by taking dressage lessons and
am finding out that, after 60 years of riding, I have a LOT
to learn. What a challenge!
