Which tree is going to reduce pressure and distribute the rider’s weight better, and why?

Before I share the upcoming RIDER WEIGHT & THE TREE post, answer this question.

There is a lot of talk — and confusion! — about sizing riders appropriately, especially on short backed horses.

When the rider needs a seat that extends past T-18, the default is to make the seat too small for the rider… but does this actually benefit the horse?

In the next post, we are going to discuss the factors that should be considered when choosing a seat size for the rider… and I guarantee you’ll be surprised to hear that it isn’t what most saddle fitters recommend.

Stay tuned 📺
