"Saddle fitting is much more than just flocking a saddle. Saddle design is a huge part of whether the saddle will work for a particular horse, and this is determined largely by anatomy and biomechanics. In order to solve the problem, rather than simply treat a symptom, you need comprehensive education and experience in a multitude of subjects."
