(See the 1st Pic? lighting not optimal)

Follow the steps on your Limited Consult form. There is a difference in the Pad fitting consult and the saddle fitting consult requirements.

If you are confused please contact me.

Please pay the required fee. This clarifies your commitment.

YOU WILL NEED AN ASSISTANT

YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE PICTURES WITHOUT A SADDLE PAD. BE CERTAIN SADDLE IS PROPERLY PLACED & NOT OFF CENTER. HORSE MUST BE COMPLETELY STRAIT NOSE TO TAIL OR THE PICTURES WILL NOT BE USABLE. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO RETAKE THEM.

When you take the pictures from behind:

Be certain I can see the saddle contact as in these 2 pics.

I can't see if there is a hip in the way or shadows or the angle is too high.

Saddled with pad.

Both shoulders, Left & Right profile

and one from the rear.

Be careful of lighting placement

Unsaddled pictures

The picture of the palomino on far left has the mane hiding the left shoulder but is taken in the correct lighting and spine is strait.

The 2 pictures above show the spine not strait on the sorrel on the right and unacceptable shadows on the left shoulder. The right side of the black horse has unacceptable shadows that will make it difficult for me to see clearly even tho his spine is strait.

If your horse has a dip in his back I need this measurement for the Bridge shims to be the correct size to offset the saddle mis-fit. This is the area that starts at the back of the saddle swells/pommel and extending to the concho at the side of the saddle cantle. I may need to tweak it for your horse by drawing lines on your picture so you can measure.
