Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Dr. Joanna Robson shows you how to tell if your saddle could be causing pain - and even bad behaviors. Go to www.bayequest,com for more saddle fitting videos on how to fit your hunt seat saddle, dressage saddle and western saddle.

This was actually very informative! The reaction to the cranial nerve stimulation was very interesting. Thank you for posting!
Wow that was the best explanation ever! Now could you do one on fitting a western saddle.
Excellent video. This is going to help me fit a jumping saddle for my haflinger who has a wide back. Loved your explanation (I'm a physical therapist) - it made perfect sense. Thank you.
Wonderful video thanks. I'm referring it to a friend who is having saddle fit issues. Just saw Joanna give several lectures at Equine Affair and was very impressed with what she had to say.
WOW! THANKS so much for taking the time to share this! We may soon be getting our first horse and we want to do right by her.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. So many points no one has told me. I will go out and check today for sure. Thanks
Thanks for posting. I know my horse will be happier which makes me happy. :)
this is sooo helpful and makes a LOT of sense. THANK YOU!
This is very interesting as a vet student i would just like to say it is the 3rd thoracic spinal nerve though :)
excellent information... thank you
yes thank you for that great info. I've been having behavioral problems and I'm thinking the saddle width is too big. I will check on it as soon I go back to the barn
great break down of a fitting~~ thanks
Very good videoand very clear thank you
omg! that helps so much! my lease horse saddle is sooo bad..considering going bareback till we talk to the owners..yes..thats how bad it is!!!
Thanks. Great information
Great information, thank you!
Thank you. Do you fit setzi or reactor panel saddles or ortho flex. I would love to see how you fit the panel saddles
Hi! You can find all of the saddle fitting videos on the Bay Area Equestrian Network site. There's a Western saddle fitting video, too. Thanks for watching! Kathryn, Producer, Padma Video

Very well behaved boy Sydney!! Xx
interesting video. i learned a lot of things
that was very good thank u x
At the end of this video it says "now you can watch How to Fit..." where can I find those videos???? Thank you!
Great stuff, thanks. Allow me please to suggest the most comfortable saddle Iknow. Type in MONTURA VAQUERA and check out the Spanish stock saddle (from Spain not South America). In-built padding, no need for a blanket (can use an English one), tail strap to keep it in place, no horn (we don't use it in Spain), one girth and always sheepskin to sit on (synthetic or natural, you choose). Just try it, I'm sure you'll like it, there is no saddle like it in the world.You can find them in the USA.
where can i find a video that shows how to fit my western saddle? ive been looking, but i cant find it... please help! anyways, this video is really good and informative! thanks!
Great video!! I
@jumper12397 your right! good comment!
I don''t understand 1 thing.. you say the left shoulder is bigger, but how do you see that on this horse.. I thought the right was bigger when you had the camera behind.
what if ur horse has her mane parted on both side my mare is a haflinger and she has half of mane on both sides?
what If the mane goes on both sides
@jordand196911. just because you're standing right behind a horse doesn't ALWAYS mean that horse will kick. especially if its a kind horse that you know.
works on my laptop
Hey ..the sound is no longer working for this GREAT video.....can you do another upload??..Thx,.
is this only for fitting an english saddle?
thanks for this my horse keeps bronking and don't know why it's either his saddle due to muscle loss or his teeth!
@jordand196911. If you walk quickly behind a horse that doesn't know you're there it might kick you because you have startled it. When walking behind a horse you should touch him as you're walking around him, letting him know that you are there. You should always walk closely to the horse if you are walking behind it because if it does kick you will not catch the full force of the blow. I have owned and handled horses my whole life, never been kicked walking or standing behind one.
Great vid! Now where is the 'how to fit your western saddle' we were told about in the very end?! :D
💚💚💚
k i will try that
@ObamaIsRapingTheUSA This works for any saddle western english endurance etc.
How about a western saddle ?
yeah.. working now...must have been just during that time period.
I really enjoy watching your videoes - but I wouldn't mind if there were a few minutes longer, just so there would be enough time to explain things in more details.
music is loud, but I had to turn my volume all the way up to hear her at all - sure wish you could fix that part

there is no music, it must have been coming from your coputer
yeah, make sure you ring the emergency room before you do this!! lol
I have a question... It may be kind of dumb to you lol but if your horse is in an english saddle and it is pinching, can you ass an extra pad? or will that just make it worse? please reply! thanks :)

I heard it makes it even worse, like if you were trying to put thick socks in thight shoes ;)

If it is pinching due to being too narrow, extra padding will make the problem worse. It's like wearing thick socks with shoes that are already too tight. Hope this was helpful
Mine "re-styles" her mane back and forth from day to day!
I actually thought that myself. It may have been the shadowing from the sun that made it appear that way.
👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Same, maybe like go behind and look at the shoulders as she did in the video? That's what I'm gonna do :)

Nicely shot video with good explanations however the BS about the Mane is utterly ridiculous to me. I am a a breeder of TB racehorses and sport horses and a 9th generation Saddler, and totally just do NOT agree with the "mane statement"; much too many variables involved in the "mane statement"; though I do agree that horses are "left or right" sided and even more so racehorses are "diagonally balanced". kudos to the Producers; Rice Saddlery, LLC
prefer to ride bare back myself
my horse has a mane on both sides.....
2 minute how to ... 5:10 lol good vid though :)
that wasn't 2 minutes that was 5 minutes,,,lol
Once, just once, I'd like to see people NOT adding in their own silly crap to what otherwise is good advice. The mane stuff is baloney -many horses have their manes "trained" as youngsters to one side or the other, and this will last a lifetime unless the mane is roached. Horses do get one-sided, but you address this through a conditioning program, not saddle fit. Otherwise, the advice is fairly good - many people put their saddles too far forward and restrict the horse's motion.
I fit my saddle ahead of your hand. Forward of cranial nerve 11. Not on it or behind it. That just doesn't work my dear. The shoulder is a swinging blade not a joint. The blade still moves freely below the saddle. I can feel the difference when ridden. If the forefront of my saddle is behind the shoulder muscle as you describe. There's trouble, resistance and pain. But then again you did sit an English Saddle on it. They don't fit anyways. Do him a favor and wing that into the bush.
