Book Reviews of Saddle Fitting Essentials
Book Review: Required Reading for All Horsepeople!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Saddle Fitting for the Horse Owner" is an excellent introduction to the art and science of fitting saddles. It explains in great detail, the construction of various types of saddles, and the reason for that construction. It explains how each type of saddle needs to fit a horse, as well as the consequences of none-fit - which really explained a lot about my horse and his behaviour. I saw a lot of things fitting into place, which I hadn't understood before.
I saw a lot of the mistakes I've made over the years - and some very big ones that I've made recently.
This book should be a "pre-quirement" for horse ownership, most certainly a required reading for anybody who ever saddles or rides a horse. Excellent writing, great research, wonderful understanding of the topic.
