Saddle Fitting Help Needed!!!!!!! PICS POSTED!!!!

iluvmywarmblood · 05-29-2008, 04:00 PM

I need your help. Does this saddle sit and fit correctly?

CLOSE! But it's too narrow in front. The pommel is too high and you can see that the angle of the saddle is more narrow than the angle of his shoulder in the front shot. Reflocking wouldn't help.

Thanks,
I can have it adjusted and widen it some. Thanks for pointing it out.

Does it have an adjustable tree? Or is it a Kieffer?

Photos of the saddle with a girth attached would be a good idea rather than simply placed on the horse's back.

Yes it has a adjustable tree, it is a schleese custom.

I'd also move it back about 2" - it's just just at the back his shoulder blade now which means when he moves his shoulder that saddle will be blocking it.

Enjoy your schleese - they are fantastic saddles. I love them!
