CORRECT SADDLE FIT & PLACEMENT PART 1 - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
My equines taught me that in order to make an educated decision about which tack and equipment to use, one needs to take into account the anatomy of the equine and the effect it will have on his body movement.

Good conformation is important in allowing the equine to perform to the best of his ability, but so is developing core strength elements (muscles, ligaments, tendons, soft tissue, and cartilage) such that the skeleton is ideally symmetrically supported.

When developing the equine's body, it is important to know what feeds are the healthiest for him.

There are lots of different ways to feed your equines today, but I have found a regimen that works best.
