Upcoming Side Saddle Lesson and Fitting

I'm ecstatic. This upcoming weekend, June 16, will be another lesson and a side saddle fitting for my horse.

Fitting Phantom properly has never been an easy task. She has a wide barrel and a long back. Regular saddles even when fitted for her seem to pinch her withers. I suspect that she needs a different type of rigging, that the common girth placement is too close to her shoulders.

I can't wait to see if a nice Circle R side saddle (western style) is going to work for Phantom (and me).
