New client today who had purchased a 2nd hand dressage saddle and wanted the fit checking. Fortunately the tree angles worked well for the horse, but the panels had been very over flocked , causing them to become sausage shaped and minimising contact area on the horse’s back. 1st pic shows the difference after I had removed flock and levelled 1 side, and the 2nd pic is of the amount of flock removed from both sides on completion. This highlights the importance of getting purchases of 2nd hand saddles checked 🙏@
