For a reason not even clear to me I threw a Western saddle on my QH mare and rode yesterday's exercise. I have ridden Western very rarely in my life. Influence of leg greatly reduced however seat influence much greater. I found this very interesting 🤔 BUT I am returning to a saddle I know!

That is interesting! Experimentation always gives you more information!!!
