My horse's current saddle is rubbing off her hair on the right side of her back, where the end of the saddle rests. This happens even though we have a professionally fitted saddle, use a saddle pad and a Mattes customizable half pad which we bought no more than a few months ago. The saddle is a Prestige Versailles.
So, to avoid back problems I'm looking for suggestions on generally good, unproblematic jumping saddles. Doesn't have to be "professional grade" but preferably flatter than an allrounder.
Edit: words
I'm brand new here, hello! I've just gotten back into riding after a couple decades hiatus and it's wonderful. The lady I lease a horse from got stuck with an 8 month old male boarder, let's call him Colt, who ended up being abandoned. (The legal stuff is being worked out and his background is being checked out.)
I have more time than the property owner does and want to help gentle the colt. I'm the first person he's taken food from (last week) and today I gave him a bunch of treats while petting him. He even let me curry comb him.
I'm an animal person, dogs that don't like people like me and things like that, but I'm no horse trainer. I'm a dog trainer. I want to get Colt to the point where he trusts people again. I found out recently that his previous owner would whip Colt if he backed up from her. I rode a lot when I was younger, mostly "hack horses" where you rent a horse for an hour. I read the Saddle Club series and lots of books.
What books can I read to help Colt? Don't tell anyone but I really like him. He really needs some attention and I don't want to mess him up. He's going to take a village and I'm part of that village. Help make me a better citizen, please.
I also want to be a better Western rider. I might want to barrel race, I might want to just pleasure ride in a field. The horse I lease is a bit stubborn, probably from being from not being ridden regularly. One day I'd like to own horses and I'd love some resources to improve my husbandry skills, preferably on the frugal side of things.
Thanks so much!
Too Long Didn't Read: I need help with the basics for a young horse and want to improve my riding after 2 decades not riding and need general horse behavioral knowledge.
I never thought it would happen, but I met a fellow Pegasister while I was out yesterday.
How it happened was actually a series of events. First, I saw a car with a decal of Sans from Undertale on the rear window. I took a picture of it and posted it to a local Pop Culture group (of which I am part of also). The response I got was from the soon-to-meet pegasister saying that it was her boyfriend's car, and that she had a matching Papyrus decal, as well as a Derpy decal on the opposite side. Her boyfriend also replied saying that it was indeed his car.
About an hour later, I was at a Big Lots (since I like to explore the town on some weekends). Since there wasn't anything exciting, besides an Ubermonster, I decided to check out. The cashier asked me if my name was "Warren". I told her yes, since that is my name, and she told me that she was just talking to me about the Sans decal, as well as hers and mine. We chatted for a little bit until I checked out and left. She told me if I look around for her car, I'll see the decal.
When I found her car and saw that Derpy decal, my eyes lit up like stars. I was so happy to find a fellow fan of My Little Pony. That will be a moment I'll never forget.
