Western Saddle Fit – Rod Nikkel

Description

Rod and Denise Nikkel hand crafted custom saddle trees for over 20 years. Rod’s horsemanship experience coupled with Denise’s veterinarian experience provided them a solid foundation on which to learn how to fit the changing body types over time and the increasing variety of horses being ridden in the western saddles. This video is the result of decades of education – formal and informal – about horses, trees and saddles. As the title says, it only gives The Basics, but there is enough information in this video to answer the question “Does this western saddle fit this horse”?
