Choosing Dressage Saddle and Tack for Comfort and Connection

Choosing the right dressage saddle and tack is crucial in and out of the arena. Well-fitting saddles and tack make the difference between connection and comfort versus stress and pain for your horse. When choosing a dressage saddle, you must consider the tree angle, treewidth, wither clearance, channel width, panel contact and length, saddle straightness, and girth point alignment. The saddle should provide even support in these areas. Support and half pads with your dressage saddle pad can add extra comfort to your horse’s back. Other dressage tack needs to consider are a comfortable girth that is wide enough for support and comfort, leathers that allow your leg the length it needs for proper leg pressure, good stirrups, halters, and reins.
