An exceptionally good slow motion video of how much movement a wither and shoulder has in walk under a well fitted saddle. Really notice how the scapula (shoulder blade) slides under the front of the saddle where your gullet plate and tree points live - then think how difficult it would be to have this free range of movement if the gullet angle is incorrect, the panel is hard or the head of the saddle too narrow. We spend a lot of time looking at the symmetry of the horse's shoulders - just think for a second what happens when your horse has one bigger or more rearward shoulder ? How much harder and how much more pressure will this shoulder get when it is trying to slide under the saddle compared to the other? Look how much the wither rolls from side to side... #Repost @animalbodyworknj • • • • • • SLOW motion video of a horse under saddle to show you how much range of motion the wither area actively uses at the WALK. When a saddle fits too wide and falls onto the wither, or a saddle...
