It is overwhelming for me and while I generally know if a saddle fits or doesn't fit, determining which one that 'fits' is the best match, just boggles my mind.<br /><br />I do love my Bates and my horse is pretty easy to fit but I am not a fan of the Cair panels when dear pony wants to be round and bouncy over fences. The cantle flips up off her back.... *Sigh* So does it really 'fit' her? I don't know...
