I had them out to fit regularly as it was his 'growing' saddle expensive £90 and he doesn't seem to do much but the horse hated all the 'normal' treed saddles and had...

There's a lot of information if you Google conservative management. There are also braces that can help which you'll come across - we tried some of...

    My horse was hit by a car - where do I stand legally?

    Big Bale savers. Worth the money? Okay-ish? Don't bother?
