How Use Riser Pads for an English Saddle

Hi! I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to show you my techniques for saddling a horse with an English saddle. So once you have your saddled placed on the back, you want to take a good look at it and see whether or not you need to put a riser underneath. Just from looking on this, you can see her saddle kind of dips a little bit in a downward slope, so that is telling me that we want to up a riser underneath her saddle to keep everything more even, everything more level. That is going to be more comfortable for her and more comfortable for you as well. What we are going to do is we are just going to take our riser pad which is this here, we are just going to lift up our saddle and we are going to slide this right under. Make sure that it is properly fitted underneath and then we will just put this one strap back on our billet here. So you can see it makes the saddle fit a little more level on the horse's back so it is going to a lot more comfortable for her and it will be a lot more comfortable for you as well.
