so after much waiting my saddler has fitted a saddle which she says fits:D
however im unsure as when i walk my horse with no rider the back of the saddle lifts:eek: now the saddler says it is a new saddle and needs time to bed down and that when my horse walks off she rounds her back!!
she does drop her head when walking without a rider but if shes rounding and its lifting whats it gonna do when she rounds when i work her??:confused:
originaly i was having one made with an extra gusset as all saddles lift from her very straight back , but is that the way to go is it just hiding the problem?
anyway heres a pic of new saddle
before i got on(wee bit far forward and shes stood on uneven ground)
