Horse-Canada Book Stall

Practical Saddle Fitting, by Ken Lyndon-Dykes. 134pp. Equipping both horse and rider with the right saddle is one of the most crucial aspects of equestrian sport. The saddle must be comfortable for both parties and allow the horse maximum freedom of movement. It must provide the rider with security and with the basis for adopting and adapting the appropriate posture in accordance with the demands of the discipline(s) for which it is used. The saddle should be well constructed from good quality materials and, in most cases, capable of some degree of adjustment.
