Saddle Fitting with Linda

Fanny is a reining horses. Reining horses out of HollyWoodDunIt tend to have really big powerful butts. . .and can they do a sliding stop. . .
Well, Fanny is built like a typical HollyWoodDunIt horse -- with her big butt. I have had trouble getting a saddle to fit and not cut in to her back and butt. We have shimmed and shimmed and shimmed. The saddle seems to be too long.

Linda P wants to try to get the saddle to fit. So we have a meeting set up on my birthday, April 6th. I will be at the center in Florida with Fanny at that time. I will keep you informed.

Meanwhile, I will work on some strategies to improve her downhill posture -- hill therapy, poles, backups, etc. Anything that helps tuck her butt under.
