Riding

Saddle fitting for drafts can be very difficult. This is the one place where you do not want to just buy the first thing that sounds like it might work. Please consult a saddle fitter who is accustomed to working with drafts. It's often easier to do a virtual consult with UK fitters as they've got a larger riding draft market. The folks over at Chunky Monkey are amazing <3 Having a quality bareback pad during your hunt will help keep that need to "just have something" at bay. Why a bareback pad? Sit on your hands for a moment and feel those seatbones your trainer is always on about. That's what is digging into your horse's back. A Thinline pad will help protect them and you.
