[QUOTE="flaboy-, post: 332258, member: 3688"] You know I understand the logic behind saddle fitting but riddle me this. How come we used to buy our saddles out of the Roebuck catalog, ride our horses 8-10 hours a day up to 4 days a week, and never had one problem with sores or irritated backs. Heck, all I hear now when someone says their horse cuts up is "check the saddle fit". We used to have four saddle horses and six saddles. We never really cared about putting any of these saddles on any of the horses. We used old doubled up blankets, not the big padded things around today. Granted they were all quarter horses and all the saddles except one were roping saddles so I guess quarter horse bars. We never had a horse get a sore or a sore back. If one of horses bucked it when we first jumped on them at 2 years old. I think we sometimes get carried away. I understand a poorly fitted saddle can cause problems but................. [/QUOTE]
