I had my saddle flocked on the 28th August because it was moving around slightly.
Ever since then i have had major problems on the right rein! He doesnt want to bend when schooling, wont jump on the right rein, refusing to jump which is very unlike him. I thought it could be teeth or back but both are fine. I figured out while doing carrot stretches with his saddle on last night its restricting him completely on the right side. He's fine when he has no saddle on and also fine on the left side.
I have phoned my saddler who can only come out on the 16th WHICH IS ONE DAY BEFORE I GO TO MY 3DAY EVENT! I need to keep him working to keep his fitness up but i do not want to continue to ride in my saddle if its going to cause more problems! Saddler has suggest padding the front side of the saddle behid his shoulder with gamgee (sp?)
What on earth can i do?
