I schooled Hattie today as we are doing a dressage test next Wednesday and it was HORRIBLE today!!
My legs and arms were flapping around like no one's business, Hattie was stiff and kept bending to the right when I wanted her bending to the left, couldn't get her in frame, couldn't get her left lead canter, flippin' pony kept calling to her and distracting her plus I don't think my saddle fits anymore.
I just got it reflocked but it's leaning to the right- I kept having to battle against it and when I checked the underside of my numnah, there was a darker pressure point on the left sigh of the wither and a pressure point on the right seat bone area- crooked tree saddle?? Crooked me??
I've also noticed that some of the hair has rubbed off the right side of her withers as well during the last week.
I know I'm a rubbish rider anyways but the more I ride in this saddle, the more I think it's ill fitting and I can't afford to buy yet another!!!
Grr..thanks for letting me rant. My OH doesn't understand these things and just thinks I want to buy bunches of saddles for the fun of it!!
