English Saddles How to Fit:  Pain Free for Performance DVD Dr. Joyce Harman DVM

Dr. Joyce Harman, veterinarian and renowned saddle-fitting expert, shows how a horse will perform better and remain sounder longer when the saddle accommodates the particular horse's conformation.  In the video, Dr. Harman, explains how a horse will come onto the bit more willingly, perform better transitions, jump higher and wider, and remain sound longer when the saddle accommodates the horse's conformation.  

This DVD brings to life the basics of saddle fitting for the English saddle.  Dr. Harman is an independent veterinarian with no affiliation to any particular saddle, unless it is one that fits.  And often that is the cheapest saddle in the barn, not the most expensive.  This clearly narrated DVD shows you, the viewer, how to evaluate your own saddle or one intended for purchase.  You will learn to evaluate your saddle off the horse, then check the fit on your horse.  Companion DVD to the publication The Horse's Pain-Free Back and Saddle-Fit.
