You can see the trees on those saddles through the leather?? 🤓

@@mattmillsreining1 as an experienced horseman you should know that even the skirt of the saddle shouldn’t pass the final thoracic vertebrae. These saddles don’t fit no matter where the tree sits. You can see in many of your videos that even the seat of the saddle is on that vertebrae

Thank you for watching. And thank you for your input! Have a great day! 👊🏾👊🏾

@@emmaleamcelhinney8650 From my extensive study of this issue, I am led to understood the skirt is designed specifically to go past the last thoracic vertebrae. It is in actual fact, one of the fundamentals of a western saddle v's and english style saddle. It is one of the two main reasons that a western/military style tree/saddle is better used for short backed horses than an english style tree/saddle. {The other reason is that in a well made tree, the front panels flare out, therefore, allowing the shoulder to slip underneath the panel. This is not possible with a traditional english tree.} In both the english and the western saddles the seat of the tree should end before the last thoracic vertebrae. In the english saddle, the panel should also; whereas in a well made western saddle, the skirts are designed to go past the the last thoracic vertebrae without actually touching the horse's spine. The idea of saddle fitting is to distribute the rider's weight over the maximum allowable surface area. since the area behind the seat (the skirt) is not part of the direct weight bearing area of a saddle, it makes little or no sense to waste valuable weight bearing surface area in carrying a non weight bearing part of the saddle. In a well made saddle the skirt does not actually sit on the horse's spine, but is designed (angled) specifically to sit (hover) above the skin of the horse (when tried on without any form of pad) There is, therefore, no pressure at all from the skirts in a correctly made saddle. Trouble is, with all the cheap (cheap used in 2 ways....inexpensive and nasty), factory saddles available now, this important design is often overlooked, to the detriment of the horse. I am sure the saddles this rider uses are not cheap, factory items in either sense of the word "cheap". Ed to add. If the seat goes past the last thoracic vertebrae; that is another matter entirely and should be highly frowned upon. The lumbar vertebrae are too sensitive to have any weight applied to them. It also should go without saying, the larger the rider, the greater the risk of damage, regardless of the balance or skill of said rider.

@@payntpot7623 I completely agree, but from the teachings I have received from the local fitters in my region (I have shadowed them and taken many classes) the skirt can “hover” the last vertebrae but should not go past it. Even in a well made saddle if the horses back is lifted, the skirt can put pressure onto the spine.

Hahaha. They had a great time! 2yr olds are fun too though! 😂💯〽️

@@mattmillsreining1 Do the two year olds come to you with a lot of fundamental groundwork completed already or do you all do it there as well?

So I get them at all different stages, but I try hard to get my young ones early so I can do ALL of the groundwork myself! That’s why I love this time of the year! 💪🏾💯👍🏾

@@mattmillsreining1 I love doing groundwork.... I’ve my first filly and colt last year, 10mo. Old now and doing great.

It’s So gratifying.

Unless it’s been vet checked that it’s bones are ready, yes it is.

@@emmaleamcelhinney8650 mhhhh, alr

Depends on the horse and the rider. You dont have to ride them into the ground to get the job done. But there are some horses that are not ready at 2.

Yes!! Who breaks a 2 year old?!? Race horses are broken early like this but they also breakdown early

Have a better day tomorrow... if you’d like to ask me a question respectfully, I will gladly answer. Even difficult ones. Thanks for watching though!!! 〽️〽️
