Saddle Savvy

My goal in writing Saddle Savvy for English saddles is to provide horse keepers with tools that enable them to understand how to select English and treeless saddles that fit both themselves and their equine friend, to assess suitability of current saddles and to trouble shoot existing situations. By applying the information presented in this book, you will be able to ask saddle sales people and fitters key questions to make sure you select what is appropriate for your and your horse. Since the English and treeless saddle market has expanded beyond traditional treed choices over the past 10 years, I have included a chapter on understanding the alternative options available. This section is devoted to assisting you to navigate the myriad of brands to select the type that best suits your needs and your horses back type. Special headings cover padding system selection for the different back types and trouble shooting existing issues. As the saying goes...."knowledge is power". My intention is to share information that will give you the power to make informed choices for both you your horse. Kaaren Jordan
