Did you know your saddle-fit is shaping your horse’s posture long before you see the classic “pain signs”? In this chat with master saddler, author, rider and educator Jochen Schleese (Saddlefit4Life), we unpack how saddle design and fit can either allow your horse to move freely… or quietly push a horse into compensations that later show up as behaviour changes, resistance, and movement issues. 

Jochen generously explains a few methods that he teaches in his courses that you can take straight to the paddock and use to begin assessing whether your saddle fits your horse!
