Saddle 1

Lateral balance: Even – L slip – R slip

Longitudinal balance: Even – Front low – Rear low – Rear tip, due to tree shape

Gullet clearance: Low (1 finger)  – Acceptable

Walk: Balance and stable

Notes: 

Nice natured and easy ride.

The pony has tenderness just behind T18. Suggested a physio visit to assess further.

Right canter lead is hindered, possibly due tothe tension on left side, whilst left led is much smoother.

Saddle panels finish about 6cm ahead of the pressure point area.
