The Horse Saddle And Horse Supplements
by Mark Givens
Horse supplements are good for your horse. Same goes with the appropriate saddle. To ensure that a western saddle will fit properly, abide by these steps: Position the saddle about the horse's back with a one-inch thick (approximately) saddle pad underneath it. Reach beneath your horse's belly to the cinch or girth. Run the latigo or tie strap through the cinch ring and also D-ring (rigging ring) twice. Tighten up the cinch just enough so it is up against your horse's belly. Next build a freely tied cinch knot. To make the knot, draw the latigo to one aspect of the D-ring, go over the top and run it up over the D-ring again. Then pull the last part of the latigo down over the loop you developed.
Now slowly tighten the cinch so it is great and snug around the horse's belly just behind the top legs. The cinch should be snug enough so you can simply match your finger between the cinch and horse's belly. Just before securing the cinch, be sure that you verify that the blanket is focused and the cinch is straight and not twisted. The cinch should not be in a position to rub or cut into the horse's front legs. Firm up the cinch knot and secure the end of the tie strap through the latigo carrier ahead of the saddle.
If there is a back cinch, secure it as soon as the front cinch is snug - the back cinch has to be near to the horse's belly so that it does not get caught on brush or branches, but should not be tight (your hand should be able to suit flat between the cinch and horse). There could be another strap to connect the back cinch towards the front cinch to prevent the rear cinch from interfering with the horse's back legs.
Tighten up the cinch so that it's snug but relaxed. Once you try to tighten the cinch, you may find that it's quite short for the horse's barrel. Do not turn down the saddle simply because the cinch is just too big short. If you really like the saddle and it fits, you can always purchase a longer, alternative cinch. Meanwhile, borrow a cinch which fits so you can always check out the saddle.
Get a rider sit on the saddle with his or her feet within the stirrups. Ensure that you can easily fit at least three fingers between the arch of the pommel and the horse's withers. Look at the width of the saddletree, or frame, because it sits about the horse and compare it using the shape of the horse's back. On a horse having a wide back and lower withers, the tree must be wide. Over a narrower back with higher withers, the tree should not be too wide.
Horse supplements as well as the correct saddle work great for your horse. Place your fingers sideways (on a flat hand) between the saddle and the top of the horse's shoulder to help decide the thickness of the tree. If the fit is so tight you can't squeeze your fingers between your saddle and also the top of the horse's shoulder, the tree is simply too wide for the horse. If you can put your whole hand between the saddle and also the top of the horse's shoulder, the tree is simply too small.
