No no no!!!!
Please don't! You can find a saddler that will adjust Flair to you and your horse on their website.
They will look at the fit of the saddle on the horse and see how it moves when you walk/trot/canter and can adjust it for you and see your horse move in it again.
The saddler will have proper equipment to pump the air up if needed and to re-seal the valves so they don't leak.

Get your saddler to do it as it needs adjusting to fit you and your horse and in some cases it will get adjusted when you are sat in the saddle.
Whatever you do dont do it yourself

ok,

i asked yesterday at our "supposed" very good saddlers....... and they dont do it.

Keep searching....by recommendation is the best way.

Althouigh Flair has lots of positives it can cause a lot of problems if it is not adjusted correctly.
