Beth Stefani writes: "Some saddle fitting problems aren't caused by a poorly fitting saddle, but rather by a saddle positioned poorly. Saddles are designed to match the horse's anatomy when in their proper position. If the saddle is positioned in front of, or behind this position, it can cause physical problems for both the horse and rider."
