Troubleshooting
Saddle does not feel secure on the horse.
Ensure the girth is tightened appropriately. Check that the saddle is centered on the horse's back and that the saddle blanket is smooth underneath.
Stirrups are uncomfortable or the wrong length.
Adjust the stirrup belts by moving the buckles up or down to find the correct length for your leg. Ensure the stirrup leather is threaded correctly through the buckle.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner according to the product instructions. Regular conditioning will keep the leather supple and prevent premature wear.
Saddle blanket causes discomfort or chafing.
Ensure the saddle blanket is clean and free from debris. Make sure it is fitted smoothly under the saddle with no wrinkles. Check the saddle fit itself.
