Interesting concept. It would be of further interest to see how this same concept would work on horses of different shape and size, like an arab vs a quarter horse vs a warm blood.That is three very different rib cage shapes.

I always wondered about the tight girth. Former racing horses cannot stand the tight girth that they were forced to endure in their racing lives. Those horses one cannot ride. I will investigate your new design.

Looks like another money making gimmick to me. Anyway to make a Buck - get pet loving women to become all alarmed about an essentially non-issue just to seek more unnecessary equipment. I have been riding for 6 decades in many different disciplines and horses go and win and excel in every one of the divisions without all this fussing and “over fixing” any tack. Content providers love to show off their pretty horses and model looking riders.

the plate looks like it works quite well, however what concernes me are the two isolated girth strips. You can even see in the video that in moc+vement it can pinch the skin inbetween. So i think there should be a wide girth instead of two narrow ones. Also i dont really know if the edges of the cussion between muscle amd plate will be a longtime problem, it could really sing into the muscle and lead to an atrophie like some saddles do with. the shoulder support not going all the way down (sorry im german, i dont know how to explain it better)

This is interesting! I always notice that people check the girth at the side and if it's loose they will tighten the girth more - but they never think about checking the tightness at the bottom. I remember telling people this but no one listens to me haha.. I have checked the bottom of the girth after people have tightened it again and it was WAY too tight.... No wonder why some horses end up with biting issues with girthing... I am glad that saddle makers are working on finding better solutions for the well being of the horse.

Everything about a horse saddle is about the rider. My vision is to create a saddle that takes into consideration the horse. When people put those giant western saddles on the horse it looks like a rider in itself! I would love to see a super low weight saddle that is as absolutely minimal as possible. I want the horse to be as comfortable as possible even though this is as uncomfortable for a horse as it can be. This is my hope for the future of horses in captivity

@@RedHybiscuswestern saddles don’t tend to be THAT heavy and a properly fitted western saddle with a blanket of the correct thickness distributes weight properly. I’d recommend buying Rod Nickel’s saddle fit course, he goes over the basics very well for western saddles and explains everything. It’s pricey, but it’s absolutely worth it and has been recommended to me by multiple saddle fitters.

Doesn't riding bareback, (all the time), put pressure on the back, where a properly fitted saddle spreads the load without pressing on the spine? Genuine question, I'm wondering what the science is.
@shermoore16936 ай бұрын
@@Crystal_Clout Riding bare back means that the back of the horse has to take only the weight of the rider (I weight 50 kg and ride a 550kg horse) and not a saddle. The distribution of the weight is, as you say, less spread out than with a saddle, that is true, but I have found that my horse moves more freely when I am bareback. I used to use a saddle when jumping more than 60 or 70cm and could notice the difference. I don't do much jumping now, only when we come across a fallen tree or something like that when out hacking. I have found that there are two major pluses to riding bareback: one is that you can feel every muscle in the horse meaning you can either follow/unite with his balance or counteract it depending on whether you want him to do something or if you want to avoid having him gallop away for fun! (I also ride without a bridle most of the time) and the second is that I feel his movement to be more relaxed. Perhaps it depends on the ratio weight of rider/weight of horse, or perhaps the strength of the back muscles of the horse (mine does not have a prominent spine, to the contrary). I just hope my horse is happy, he used to hate it when I tightened the girth before mounting.
@kittycatdays87196 ай бұрын
@@shermoore1693riding bareback gives you two main pressure points-your seatbones. Even tensing up your thighs to try put more weight around the horses barrel rather than just under your seatbones won’t help much because the pressure distribution area is small and the pressure is uneven. There’s a reason we made saddles-both for our and the horse’s comfort. Please fit a saddle to your horse, bareback shouldn’t be ridden often, it’s basic physics. Close contact saddles (with a tree! A tree is necessary for proper weight distribution, treeless saddles are glorified bareback pads, and the stirrup straps put a shitton of weight around a thin area) might be what you’re looking for. They’re typically mono flaps so there’s less leather between you and the horse, yet they still have a tree and panels for the comfort of the horse.
@kymharris2696 ай бұрын
Love this idea! I’ve taken a look at your website. Do you make conversion plates for ordinary girths? I can’t afford a full pressure release girth, but it would be great if I could convert my existing girth with a retro fitted pressure release plate.

Unfortunately our Sternum plates can only be used with our straps as they are designed specifically to fit.
