For your horse&#8217;s well-being during work, <strong>the correct positioning of the saddle<\/strong> on its back is one of the most essential factors. If placed incorrectly, it can cause harm, hinder your horse&#8217;s movement, and create pressure on sensitive areas of its back. It also affects your position as a rider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from comfort, proper saddle positioning helps maintain your horse&#8217;s muscular and joint longevity, thereby ensuring its performance. That&#8217;s why all our experts are trained in <strong>saddle fitting<\/strong> in collaboration with equine health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling like your saddle is slipping back? Perhaps it&#8217;s simply too far forward and returning to its initial position. But how can you be sure? In this article, we provide you with all our advice to ensure<strong> your saddle is properly positioned<\/strong> on your horse&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-6-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Properly positioning your saddle on your horse's back can make all the difference in its comfort and performance.\" class=\"wp-image-103645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-6-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-6.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The right position for your saddle on your horse&#8217;s back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vertebrae<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saddle must be placed between the <strong>8th<\/strong> and <strong>18th thoracic vertebrae<\/strong> of the horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your saddle is in front of the 8th vertebra, it&#8217;s too far forward. When your horse moves, its scapula moves back and forth by 4 to 5 centimeters. A saddle too far forward restricts<strong> the movement of the front end<\/strong>, limiting your horse&#8217;s mobility and bounce. This also applies to jumping. A poorly placed saddle prevents it from raising its withers and using its shoulders to clear obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it extends beyond the 18th vertebra, it&#8217;s too far back or too long for your horse. The rider&#8217;s weight is then shifted onto the horse&#8217;s <strong>loins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rider&#8217;s center of gravity should be on the deepest part of the saddle, ideally at the <strong>13th vertebra<\/strong> of the horse.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-2-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Properly positioning your saddle on your horse's back can make all the difference in its comfort and performance.\" class=\"wp-image-103649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-2-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-2.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to (re)familiarize yourself with <strong>the horse&#8217;s back anatomy<\/strong>, we have described it in detail in the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/en\/tips-prevent-horse-back-pain\/\" id=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/en\/tips-prevent-horse-back-pain\/\">3 tips to prevent your horse from getting back pain<\/a>&#8221; in collaboration with the specialized osteopathy school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eos-animal.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EOS Animal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locating the 8th and 18th thoracic vertebrae of the horse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 8th thoracic vertebra is located <strong>2 fingers behind the horse&#8217;s scapula<\/strong>. Identify this point, then move up to your horse&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To identify the 18th vertebra (the last thoracic one), run your hand along your horse&#8217;s ribs. When you reach the last rib, <strong>follow the curve<\/strong> of this last vertebra without moving in a straight line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The attachment points of the saddle tree<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Properly positioning your saddle on your horse's back can make all the difference in its comfort and performance.\" class=\"wp-image-103647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-1.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>saddle tree attachment points<\/strong> (located above the front panel) should align with the 8th thoracic vertebra, which, as a reminder, is situated 2 to 3 fingers behind the scapula. This way, the saddle doesn&#8217;t interfere with the movement of the shoulder and doesn&#8217;t create any pressure points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The gullet width<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gullet&#8217;s opening and shape should be adapted to your horse. Your saddle should never come into contact with your<strong> horse&#8217;s withers<\/strong>. You should be able to pass <strong>2 to 3 fingers under the pommel<\/strong>, depending on your horse&#8217;s morphology. If this is not possible, the saddle&#8217;s gullet is too wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saddle balance on the horse&#8217;s back<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saddle must sit perfectly level on your horse&#8217;s back. The panels should conform to the horse&#8217;s back uniformly without touching <strong>the spine<\/strong>. <br>When the saddle is well-balanced on the horse&#8217;s back, the rider&#8217;s weight is better distributed, and pressure points are avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert tip:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To judge the proper balance of your saddle, place it without a pad and tighten the girth normally. Your saddle will settle onto your horse and take its place. Also, step back a few paces to help you evaluate the saddle&#8217;s position and balance. <br>Note that new panels may not yet conform to your horse&#8217;s back shape and may initially appear slightly &#8220;high.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The shock absorber: a solution to address imbalance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-5-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Properly positioning your saddle on your horse's back can make all the difference in its comfort and performance.\" class=\"wp-image-103655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-5-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Position-riding-saddle-5.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/shop\/en\/saddle-pads-horse-ear-bonnets-half-pads\/2246-ergonomic-fitting-half-pad.html\" id=\"https:\/\/migration.antares-sellier.com\/shop\/en\/saddle-pads-horse-ear-bonnets-half-pads\/2246-ergonomic-fitting-half-pad.html\"><strong>The shim pad<\/strong><\/a> can address saddle balance issues.
