I just got a new saddle. Why does it still move slightly?

Your horse is a dynamic creature. That means that there is constant motion in all directions - up/down, side to side, foward/back.

When strapping a solid object to a moving object, we are interrupting basic forces at play. If your saddle has ZERO movement, it is too tight and clamping on your horse, literally putting a vice on the energy flowing through your horse.

A properly fitted saddle should move slightly as your horse moves, to show that its moving WITH them, not against them. Just like a trainer training their eye to how a rider is effecting the horse, we train our eye to see whether the saddle movement is helping or hindering.

Now, if it's trying to take flight, that's not ok and you should get that checked out. :)

What are tracings and why do I need to do it so often?

Every single time I come see your horse for a saddle fitting appointment, I whip out a wear flexible stick and make drawings that match the measurements of your horse's back.

This keeps tabs on all the changes your horse goes through with maturing and training.

I keep these tracings on file forever. Which means I have a lot of filing cabinets FULL of them. These tracings allow me to track changes i width, muscling, asymmetries, and profile.

The first tracing I do is your horses tree width. This is measured 3 fingers behind your horses scapula. This one is SO fun to watch change, especially on young horses!!!

The second tracing I do is where your stirrup bars lay. This is often where I see the most atrophy. This measurement is a nice 2D visual way to track your horses development.

The third tracing is the lowest point in the horses back, and another spot where atrophy rears its head.

The fourth tracing is your horse's last rib. I often see asymmetries here in the ribcage, and it shows a lot about your horses strong vs. weak side.

The 5th and 6th tracing I do are your horses profile shape and their “true drop.” The true drop gives an idea of what depth of panel your horse needs.

Tracking these changes throughout time can just indicate the normal progression of a horse's growth, but it can also help be an insight to problems as they are starting to arise.

And although tracings are a part of my job as a saddle fitter, they are also just super fun to nerd out over!
