Troubleshooting
Gauge does not sit flat or seems wobbly.
Ensure the horse's coat is parted cleanly and the gauge is aligned directly over the marked reference point. Make sure the saddle nail area used for reference is a stable point.
Unclear reading or gauge slips.
Re-part the horse's coat to ensure a clear reference point. Ensure the gauge is positioned comfortably and clear of the highest point of the withers, not resting on the bony prominence.
Cannot determine the correct gullet size.
Double-check that the gauge is aligned correctly and not tilted. For persistent uncertainty, consult a professional saddle fitter.
