Any ideas/help would be much appreciated .....
Archie has been ridden in a T4 for the last 18 months but I decided to treat him to a new made to measure saddle, the saddler came out today with his lovely new saddle, so I popped on and within two mins he kicked out and i even felt his fronts come up off the ground. Archie may be a lot of things but this isnt normal for him.
I did have a different saddle pad underneath - untacked and then tried his normal saddle - he went better but then did a tiny cow kick so i jumped off. I have phoned the woman who does his back to get her to check him over, i rode him yesterday and he was fine but, I used a thicker pad which is what he is used to....
saddler and I think its using a thinner pad that has caused a reaction but I'm unwilling to get back on a try a thicker pad until the back lady has had a look at him.
So, would a different pad caused such a reaction?
