Horses. Half sheepskin numnah with dressage saddle?
I have just bought a 17" black suede dressage saddle. Will this numnah be ok to use with it?

Yes, it's more than just "okay" to use with it--it's probably a great idea. Not only does it provide your horse with extra wither and back protection but also makes any saddle fit more ergonomically on a horse. Because of the shape of most dressage saddles, a half pad is almost necessary and I highly recommend it for your horses comfort and well-being:)

How to identify a General Purpose Saddle.mp4
treeless saddles?!?!?
hi, i have a 15.2 OTT TB mare, and in the summer we are getting a new saddle for her - the details are quite long and boring 
- but i have always been interested in treeless saddles, and i am seriously thinking about getting one for her. but i was wondering where do you get them from, how do you measure for them, and who fits them? im in the UK, Norfolk/Suffolk border, so if you know anyone who fits them that would be brillent! and where i can get them from? i will mainly be hacking, with some random jumping and dressage.
thankyou,
OK, as fas as fitting the saddle to your horse is concerned, there are 4 crucial points of the horses body that need to be considered when fitting the saddle:
Withers
Ideally, the withers of the horse are level with, or a little above, the highest point of the rump (or croup). Withers that are higher or lower than this would need special consideration when choosing a saddle.
To check the clearance at the withers, place your hand on edge and slide your fingers between the withers and the gullet (with no saddle pad). You should be able to place between 2 and 4 stacked fingers into this space. (Guide's note: this clearance should be checked while mounted as well.)
Shoulders
Large shouldered horses can be constricted by a saddle with a bar width and angle that is too narrow with the saddle forcing the shoulders against the saddle tree bars. On a thin-shouldered horse, a saddle that's too wide can ride forward onto the shoulder blades causing discomfort and restricting movement.
To check the shoulder clearance, slide your hand between the fleece lining of the saddle and the horse's shoulder (with a saddle pad). Your hand should be able to slide in easily. Ideally, you should also be able to do this with a rider in the saddle.
Spine/Back
A horse that has an overly narrow, or conversely, an overly flat back, can find certain saddles to be uncomfortable. A horse whose back is "downhill," with his rump higher than his withers, can end up with the saddle slipping forward causing soreness.
Saddles are designed with a gullet channel (the open space between the bars) that is intended to bridge the spine. A saddle that's too wide for a horse can result in weight being placed directly on the spine. Sweat marks are a good way to tell if your saddle is placing weight on your horse's spine. When you take your saddle off, the entire spine should be dry.
Point of Hip/Loins
Horses with shorter than average backs can find the saddle's skirts digging into their loins. The skirt should follow the contour of the horse's back and not extend past the horse's loins. With short-backed horses, a round skirt will be the best choice.
When assessing saddle fit, start by evaluating how the saddle relates to each of these four critical points of the horse's anatomy.
