The muscles change

Throughout the last year, I have noticed some changes in the muscles of our horses, as I have not seen before. At least not as clear as now.

Lucky Lady

Our horses are not perfect, but I will try to show what I'm looking for. We took some pictures of Lucky Lady the other day, so I use her as a model. Lucky Lady is a relatively big horse she is about 178 cm. She has a long back, short neck and she is a little straight in her hind legs. She does not have much hock action. It is not easy for her to step deep under herself. Still, it is possible to develop her muscles so that she will look more correct and work better.

Normally we always see saddles from the side. I think it might be fun to see several different models, from the front. By seeing the saddle from the front, you get an idea of how the horse should be built in order to fit a given saddle. There is nothing wrong with any of these saddles. They should just be able to fit the horse they should lie on.

When you look at the pictures, you can see that they vary between two shapes, a reverse V and a reverse U. If you click on the pictures, you can see the brand.
