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