In this season of the podcast, Stacy is discussing horse tack. Today, she's covering several items: saddle pads, cinches or girths, billets, and breast collars. .
When it comes to saddle pads, Stacy recommends pulling the pad up into the gullet of the saddle to ensure proper fit and avoid pressure on the withers. She emphasizes that the saddle should fit without causing discomfort or rolling.
For selecting a cinch for your Western saddle, Stacy advises using the longest one possible without it overlapping the saddle pad. This prevents the billet strap from applying excessive pressure on the horse's side and allows for more comfort and freedom of movement.
Stacy also discusses the choice between tying a knot at the top of the billet or using the holes in the tie strap to secure your saddle. She prefers using the holes for a more secure fit, especially during advanced riding movements.
Finally, Stacy talks about breast collars, which have seen a resurgence in use, particularly in trail riding and competitive events like ranch horse and mounted shooting. There are various styles of breast collars available, including three-piece breast collars, Montreal breast collars, and pulling collars.
These items play a crucial role in ensuring the comfort and fit of your saddle and horse, so it's essential to choose and maintain them carefully.
