Bigger isn't always better.
The 18th rib marks the end of the horse’s weight-bearing structure.
If your saddle extends beyond it, you’re asking the horse to carry weight where it wasn’t designed to. That’s why keeping the centre of gravity forward is such a big part of our saddle design.

Please do a video on how to find the 18th rib - so we can all check this ourselves.

Mine are 17 1/2” and I never have back issues , but actual body weight could be another issue 🤔

Absolutely! Could you do a bit about saddles being too far forward on the scapular too??

Also the way so many players yank the saddle up the horses neck is a huge problem.

Definitely changed my results with the new horses, having the saddles fitted and comfortable not creating any pinching, or relay issues down the spine or through the neck. The value of quality.

I think the biggest issues in polo is people don’t get saddles fitted at all 😢
