When you are in the saddle that you are "testing", see if you can walk along on the horse with your fingers (one or a couple) under the front of the saddle, to the side (near the button area, not inside the gullet), to see if the saddle is pinching the horse.
You can also do this with the back of the saddle to see if it's digging into the horse. Quite an eye opener! More: http://iceryder.net/saddlefittest.html Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
