Saddle size guide
To find the perfect Thorowgood saddle for your horse you will need two measurements:
You will need
` A helper to hold your horse on firm, ` A piece of chalk
level ground
` A pen
Step 1
Make sure your horse is standing four- square with his head up and looking straight ahead. From the nearside (left), feel for the top edge of his shoulder- blade (scapula) with your fingers. Lifting the nearside foreleg will help you find the scapula if you are not sure.
Step 2
When you have located the highest point of the scapula, use the chalk to mark a point roughly three fingers’ width behind it (towards the direction of the tail).
Step 3
Taking this mark as your starting point, mould your flexicurve up and over
the withers.
