“Barn fit is NOT the same as riding fit.” Back in the saddle… finally. 🐴 Three weeks of snow and cold in New Jersey meant plenty of barn work… but not much actual riding. So now the horses are feeling “FIT.” Fresh. Opinionated. Slightly electric. ⚡Teddy definitely started off that way LOL He acted more like a feral cat than an 18 yr old veteran! And even if we’ve been hauling hay, dragging hoses, and walking icy paddocks… riding uses a whole different set of muscles. It feels so good to be back

🎃How do you tell your horse is sore from your saddle? ✅Examining the fit of the saddle is perhaps the most important aspect of examining a horse with a suspected back problem. ✅A correctly fitting saddle enhances both the horse and rider's ability to perform with accuracy, lightness, and freedom of movement. ✅When the saddle does not fit the rider, he or she is often fighting it without realizing it this will also cause back pain . ✅no need to guess check out Wendy's schedule. https://www.winnh
