FIND THE RIGHT SADDLE

Or maybe he’s never shown any discomfort with saddling, but you’re constantly fighting to stay balanced during a ride.

Finding the right saddle is crucial. If you want your horse to perform well, you need a saddle that lets him do his job and doesn’t interfere with his natural movement.
