Saddle pads are used for comfort, shock absorption, and to provide cushioning to horses. Can you hear the difference because my knuckles can feel it!! Most western saddles only have a thin layer of material covering the saddle tree. This is a custom built saddle by @doublejsaddlery with foam padding to contour and protect my horses back. Let me know if you want more details!!! A thick saddle pad on this saddle and this horse would actually hinder the fit!

Having enough room through the shoulder IS a critical part of their body that needs to have some room to move (the Scapula typically moves back and forth several inches when your Horse moves) but the tricky part about this is that it could still be... - - - 👉 Causing Spine Pressure(this one often leads to boney changes) 👉 Hitting a reflex point the causes them to raise their head, especially when the Rider gets on 👉 Or just plain loading pressure in the lumbar(low back area) causing tissue damage and oftentimes difficulty keeping their back end under them and driving. - - - So having room to get your Hand through the front of the Saddle is ABSOLUTELY a good thing BUT we just need to make sure that it’s not loading incorrectly in another place in order to make it happen! - - If you don’t think your Saddle is working for your Horse and you want to hit the Easy Button and join us March 29th at Cherry Creek Ranch where everything’s organized for you, all you do is show up with your Horse in hand! 😎🦄 - - REGISTRATION CLOSES THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 20th!! - - DM WORKSHOP if you want to hit the easy button and get in!

Many beginner riders think a Western saddle is just a Western saddle. But different riding styles need different saddle designs. For example: • Trail saddles are built for comfort during long rides. • Barrel saddles are lighter and designed for speed and quick turns. • Pleasure saddles focus on rider position and balance. Choosing the right saddle makes riding more comfortable for both you and your horse. If you want to understand the main Western saddle types, I put together a simple guide.

🏕️Why is it important to tent your saddle pad or buy a pad that tents up off the withers ? 🏕️Wither pressure is tough on horses , Restricted wither movement, often caused by poorly fitting saddles (e.g., on “shark-fin” or “mutton” withers), directly restricts shoulder movement and stride length. 🏕️Properly functioning, mobile withers are essential for proper shoulder rotation and overall performance, particularly in high-speed gaits. 🏕️Saddles, Pads and riding work together for the pad and saddle to stay off the withers . #saddlefitting #saddle #fypシ❤️💞❤️

💨Balanced saddles make pad shopping easy . 💨Even pressure from the front of the saddle through the front to back is key .

A good saddle isn’t an expense, it’s your foundation. From fit to durability, the right saddle keeps you riding longer, safer, and stronger. If you’re in it for the long haul, your gear should be too. 🐎
