Yea I don't have the money. What do you do when you don't have the money to buy a new saddle but your saddle doesn't fit your horse? I am open to any and all suggestions.
This saddle is making him back sore into his hindend. By the end of our ride today, he was stiff and tripping with his hindend. Which is why we stopped. I could tell something was off. Not LAME lame, but just off and he was being fussy.
OI vey. I am buying him in three weeks, I don't have the money to buy a saddle too!!!
Will someone donate a saddle to the Derpus is a Derp Fund? Please?
I will try to get pictures soon to share how this saddle fits to see if anyone has any suggestions. I can throw a half pad underneath it but it fits poorly then too, granted I don't think as sore. That might end up being what I have to do.
***update***
So I do not want to ride him again in this saddle and make him sore so i'm going to use old pictures.
This is him from September of last year. He's actually in very similar shape as he is right now.
The yellow triangle is where he remains dry after I take the saddle/pad off and is also where he is sensitive when palpated.
The red circle is where he seems stiff.
He was fine when I started yesterday but by the end of the ride, he was stiff and just seemed off.
I took off the half pad I was riding with because
1. it sits awkward i.e the flaps stick way out in front. (please excuse my retardedness)
and 2. it always slides forward and the back end of it ends up not supporting the back of the saddle all the way.
