Conformation, Saddle & Tack Fitting
This two part tape series teaches you how to assess individual equine conformation and gives you the information on fitting and positioning your equipment for optimal comfort and performance ability from your animal. Many animal “ behavioural” issues are actually caused by ill-fitting tack, and this video will teach how you can eliminate your saddle and tack fitting problems on any mule or horse.
Topics included are:
- How conformation is relative to use and performance
- Learning to “see” individual back shapes
- The importance of free shoulder blade movement
- Learning about symmetry and proportion
- How rib spring affects cinching
- Using the back cinch
- The importance of saddle rigging positions
- Uses and types of saddle pads
- Discussion on bare saddle trees
- Learning to fit saddle trees and saddles to individual backs
- Modifying saddle fit with pads
- How to level the saddle
- Fitting halters, breast collars, cruppers and britchens
