Saddle Fit


Here are some images of different saddles, different angles, on the same horse, Tucker, who belongs to Kristen. She says:

"I thought it would be fun to explore how different saddles fit. I tossed a couple on I knew would not fit just for a comparison.

Which saddle do you think fits the best? Which one(s) doesn't fit?"


Saddle 1 is a Stubben Siefried saddle.


Saddle 2 is a Big Horn western.



Saddle 3 is an Astund Special Icelandic saddle.




Saddle 4 is an Ascot International draft horse saddle.



Saddle 5 is a Barbier dressage saddle.



Saddle 6 is an "Evolutionary" flexible panel saddle.
