Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the horse's withers is also a determining factor in choosing a saddle. An adjustable hoop saddle allows you to choose with finesse the opening of the tree at the height of the withers, in order to best adapt to each horse. It is the size of the arch that determines the opening of the saddle.

English saddles are the main riding saddles used in equestrian disciplines around the world: Show jumping, endurance, require specific designs to meet specific needs. For example, dressage saddles are designed to bring the rider closer to the horse, allowing him to communicate very precisely with his horse.

Answer:

measure the area in which the rider will sit on, then take those measurements to a person who crafts saddles, tell them the exact measurements. then you wait a while until he/she is done then put the saddle on the horse.
