afraid of what they might have done to cause the horse to jump like that -

In hunters, that would be considered a SERIOUS fault. Even over-jumping by
an extra few inches can be considered "over jumping" and that is considered
unnecessary risk for injury as well as using unnecessary energy.
Excellent. My riding friend and I remind ourselves, when endurance starts
to get very intense and serious, that we're supposed to be having fun and
when it stops being fun, it's time to re-think our trianing schedule.
In fact, I think she's through with endurance. She has only owned the one

Second to the left is an old Courbette jump saddle owned by my sister
in law - it's called an "x-wide", but it's a 31cm tree - hardly wide for
most horses in the real

I wrote that wrong - sorry. Courbette considered a 31 cm to be a
"medium-wide", not an x-wide. Not sure

Some of the ranch or reservation horses end up with three or four brands...

Good point, I always check/have my sidewalker check as far back as they can
get their hand/arm to go, which is hopefully mid-forearm. All of this is
best done with a similar weight rider to who is mostly going to be riding in
the saddle with the padding that you are going to be using.
