Hiii,
I full loan a 15.3hh ISH who I am hoping to event next year and do a few hunter trails on in the mean time. I have never had a problem with her saddle slipping so far. Even when I forget to tighten the girth properly (my bad).
She is very typically Thoroughbred in build with a high wither so is not the sort of horse prone to her saddle slipping, although I have noticed most of the professionals wear breastgirths/plates during the cross country and showjumping phases and even sometimes the dressage.
I don't want to waste money on an expensive 5 point breastplate that she doesn't need, but is it worth spending the money on a different type (if so what) for extra security?
Thank youu
This is Annie a couple of years ago (I was not loaning her at this point but the only main difference
is the shape of her neck and she has lost some weight)
