Rod and Denise Nikkel, custom saddle tree makers for over 20 years, go much deeper into how western saddles are built to work on horses. This series is designed to be step by step, with each video building on the one before it, teaching you about how the tree, the saddle, the horse, the rider and the padding all affect fit. They demonstrate how to evaluate them all, and then how to check first a tree and then a saddle on a horse to assess if it fits and, if not, what needs to change. They discuss how breast collars and saddle bags affect the horse, treeless and flex tree saddles, saddling, mounting and even breaking in a new saddle. Denise, a retired veterinarian, teaches an extensive section on equine anatomy related to saddle fit, and then refutes some common saddle fit myths. Overall, this six hour series on how western saddles work on horses is the most extensive treatment of the subject available today, presented by people who know western saddles, literally from the inside out!
