After Dressage Hafl's article on Horsemanship and Dressage, the topic of the second guest blog is saddle fitting. Jill Southern, who has written a booklet about it, gives her view.
Jill has been around horses most of her life with a particular interest in training and also had spells dealing with breeding and showing youngstock. Simply being on yards for years and observing lots of horses was an education in itself, of sorts, together with books, videos, attending demonstrations and having some lessons with some good trainers, she says. Still, she doesn't claim to be any kind of expert. But as a good fitting saddle changes so much for horse and rider and is quite simple to achieve, she felt compelled to at least try and get the message out there.
