Hi Lisa, Along with all the other great advice I would say get a good pair of hoofboots to ride him in the first year. If his hooves were as neglected as they...
Lisa, You may wish to have a look at Cavallo's new SIMPLE BOOT. Too often over the past years, we have had reports of people returning to metal shoes because...

No, but I hear they work nice. My old guy loves his new easyboot bares! He has never moved better! My mare has so much hair (half draft) on her legs so the...
I'm asking this question to this group because so many of the members seem to be outside-of-the-box thinkers. Everything I try to do with my horses is with the...
Lyne, It depends on how tight you are making the cinch and why. If you are pulling it very tight because you are afraid of the saddle rotating, then there are...
Lyne, A very good solution to cinching too tight is to address the saddle pad. Too often - the pad creates a round barrel shape of the horse's back which makes...

Have you tried a treeless saddle? I love my Torsion and so do both of my horses. No cinchiness here. Tiffany ... From: barefootedhorses@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Lyne, I read the good posts so far, answering this question. They are based on the assumption, correct for the majority of cases, that you maybe tightenning...
Tiffany, I've looked at those saddles online.....how exactly do they keep the pressure off of the horses backs and keep the pads from compressing? and how well...

Thanks for the suggestions. I would guess that my TB mares and the Akhal Teke mare would fit the sensitive description. One mare can't stand being brushed...
You need to use a pad with spinal clearance, I love the Equipedic. The memory foam of the Equipedic helps to distribute the weight. I always have a nice even...

I place the saddle on and lightly cinch up. Play some PNH games for about 3 to 5 min. Move the horse around with a back up and some turning on the forehand....
Have you tried changing your type of cinch? If using Neoprene, try switching to a Mohair or vice verse. I have found the horses that are sensitive to the...
