Three quick saddle-fit checks I do before I blame the horse for being grumpy:

  1. Sweat marks after a ride should be even, with no dry spots under the bars.
  2. Gullet clearance: a couple of fingers above the withers with a rider in the saddle.
  3. Rocking: the saddle should not bridge or seesaw front to back.

What would you add?

Check it again after the horse changes shape: new fitness program, weight change, or coming back from time off.
