Pressestimmen
"The next best thing to having an expert on saddle fit standing right next to you. A Western rider's bible of the back." —Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar
"A wealth of saddle information for the Western—or any—rider." —The Natural Horse
"Absolutely fascinating . . . The information on evaluating saddles, their fit and design is worth the price of the whole book." —American Quarter Horse Journal
Kurzbeschreibung
Written specifically for Western-style riding and horses, this guide offers helpful advice on subjects such as horse and rider conformation and saddle construction. Horse owners will benefit from clear explanations of the variables that must be considered in order to keep a horse comfortable. Because many aspects change according to various exercise and training programs, a section on the use of pads and shims for temporary problem solving, as well as invaluable information on caring for the horse back—both in the short and long term—is included. Emphasizing that a good fit is not determined by the brand, cost, or style of a saddle—an expensive model can cause just as much harm as a cheaper one—this guidebook discusses how fit is determined by a saddle that allows the horse's back to function correctly, while keeping the rider in a well-balanced position.

Das Buch gibt auch dem Laien einen guten Einblick und erklärt auch vieles zur Anatomie des Pferdes. Es ist leicht verständlich geschrieben und der Inhalt ist gut nachvollziehbar.
Für mich ein Muss für jeden Westernreiter, um selber in regelmäßigen Abständen die Passform des eigenen Sattels bewerten zu können. Aber auch beim Sattelkauf ist es hilfreich, um "Schwarze Schafe2 von einer guten BEratung unterscheiden zu können.

A great, hard to find resource for western saddle fit
1. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
After months of wait for the release, my copy finally came. I am very happy with the book. It is an excellent reference for western saddle fit issues for both horse and rider. Covers a wide variety of saddle styles, pros and cons, etc. How to evaluate the soundness of saddle trees on used saddles. Common conformational issues and how they impact fit. Even pads and fittings are covered. Just a wonderful, all-around go-to source. Will be next to the author's English saddle book in my permanent library.

Excellent details

I realized that I really didn't know a lot about saddles and how they related to my horses. So when I saw this book and the fact that it was written by a DVM, I decided to try it. I was not a bit disappointed. The illustrations are very helpful and clear. The text is easy to understand and explains how each saddle part affects the horse and the possible problems that a bad fit or broken saddle can cause. You get good ideas of why your horse may misbehave while under saddle and how that relates to saddle fit. The book goes into some descriptions of saddle pads, but could be expanded. I was disappointed that girths aren't really covered. For the money, this is one of the best books in my library, to date.

Doesn't understand western riding so she screws up western saddles
16. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book was written by someone who doesn't understand western riding, so she screws up in evaluating western saddles. For example, in her section on different types of saddles for cutting, barrel racing, etc, she starts each section with 'the goal of the saddle is to keep her balanced over her feet', then she criticizes the saddle type for not doing this - but her goal is wrong. Cutting, for example, doesn't WANT your feet under you. Neither does reining.
She then claims that moving your feet forward puts more weight on the rear of the horse, which defies physics. Moving body parts forward moves weight forward. It doesn't move your center of gravity aft. Nor is a western rider bracing in the saddle, pushing against the cantle when riding like that - he is settled in the deep part of the saddle, legs forward but not rigid and braced. The legs move forward, but the butt stays put - so the balance point moves forward, not aft.
Her discussion of endurance saddles suggests an English saddle may be required because the bars on a western endurance saddle may be too short to distribute weight, while ignoring that the saddle works as a whole to distribute weight, and that western saddles distribute it over a much larger area than English - thus less pounds/sq inch. Also, a short Western saddle is usually longer than an English saddle.
Her discussion of saddle trees centers on "Arizona bars" or "Northwest bars" - good luck finding anyone advertising a saddle for sale with "Arizona bars". I've never, ever seen a saddle advertised thus. And in discussing flex trees, she seems to miss that flex trees try to modify a stiff piece of plastic to give it the same flex as a tree made from pine & rawhide - thus missing the entire point of flex tree saddles. They restore the flex, not give it new flexibility.
Saddle types don't exist independent of equitation. You cannot understand saddle design and fit without also understanding how it is affected by the corresponding style of equitation. FWIW - I ride English, Western and Australian saddles, but I don't ride them as interchangeable. Each has its own corresponding equitation, and riding English style in a Western saddle is as much a mismatch as trying to ride dressage in a jump saddle - you can do it, but you end up fighting the saddle.
Saddle designers are not stupid. They design saddles to support the sport and style of riding, and the author of this book doesn't understand that! Her book on English saddle fit is imperfect, but not grossly wrong like this one is.
