If I use it on him he displays all the qualities of poor saddle fit: irritable under saddle, fidgety during mounting, bucking, refusing to move out, and he doesn't do these things with my hunt seat saddle or bareback. When I do ride western I've been borrowing saddles but I want to get one that is for my horse. I am new to saddle fit and have been reading up as much as I can on this site and others. I am leaning towards a trail saddle but am pretty open as I will use it for a lot of things. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice."
