Ty! I needed this 😂 I need to start braiding to pay off show bills, my horse does half the work since he is an angel and wins some prize money. He is literally just point and shoot
I believe that the rule is you should have 1/2 inch of space on both sides of your foot. So one inch wider then the width of your foot with a boot on! Thank-you for the comment, and I hope this helps!
On say the Jump-In half pad the longer front is so that you're not bi-secting the muscle. Most half pads don't have the longer front area, and put pressure where the pad cuts off, no matter the saddle fit. Its weird that more saddle pad companies don't take the shoulder muscle into consideration. I think its a fad, so half pads that took this into consideration didn't sell as many as the half pads that were cut more like most half pads!
yes! when i had to get a new saddle for my horse i waited 8 months and just rode bareback until i found a semi used like 2 rides in the stubben saddle i have now it fits me and my horse like a dream and it was only $115
Yes i believe that's true Im purchasing one for my horse, im planning on using them at any time, he spooks a lot so i need him to get comfortable wearing them. I believe you can use these indoor and outdoors.
Hi Selby, you can use ear bonnets whenever you ride. We typically use them at the horse show or on spookier/sensitive horses who seem more comfortable wearing them. Hope this answers your question!
Really enjoying your reviews Kim. Have a saddle fitted to Pebbles and now using it on Chloe where it is too wide. I would love to see a review on saddle pads - need suggestions for the best ones to make saddle fit better and be stable and shock absorbing. Thanks so much!
