When it comes to properly fitting tack, especially ensuring the proper saddle position, it’s important to know and follow the advice of knowledgeable and experienced horsemen and women in the industry. Craig Strein, CEO of the Silver Spur Saddle Shop, has been in business for over 50+ years, doing just that… helping people find the right fit. Mike Davis, CEO of Mike Davis Reining/V2 Reining, is a Champion Reining Horse Trainer and accomplished and experienced horseman in his own right.
We put Craig and Mike in an arena with a horse, several pieces of tack, and asked them to share their expertise about what works and what doesn’t and literally have hours of information to share!
Let’s get started: Proper Saddle Position
This video discusses the proper placement and positioning of saddles. Proper saddle position is unique for each horse depending on their conformation and activity. Saddle position is critical to not only the comfort of your horse, but also can affect safety, possibility of injuries, and performance.
