I find the area of the shoulder that is futherst to the right, then
put 2 of my left fingers to the right of it, then sit my saddle next
to my fingers, this gives 2 inches of space between their shoulder
and my saddle......it gets tricky if you are a bigger rider and you
are on a short backed horse...I am very careful not to have it too
far back either, too far forward and my weight sits too high on
them. I use a
Corrector pad to ride in, it really works.....Since I am a larger
rider I try to give as much comfort to my horse as possible.
