Western Saddle Fit - The Basics (DVD or Streaming)

$34.95

We really should have called this "More Than Just the Basics" because this 67 minute video gives you more information – not just the “whats” but the “whys” behind them – than you can get pretty much anywhere else. You will learn not only the Basic Principles that make a Western saddle fit a horse, but also how different factors about the tree, the saddle, the rider and the padding all affect how a saddle fits and functions. It also teaches you how to check out a saddle on a horse to know if it will work or not. And if not, you will understand why not, so you know what needs to be different in a saddle that fits. Plus more! Check out the table of contents below and our review page so see what our customers say about the video!
