In addition to their natural growth and development process, they may suffer injuries, while changes in diet and seasonal changes can affect their muscle mass and body fat percentage. Keeping your saddle in good shape, and making sure it continues to meet the horse\u2019s needs, therefore requires regular maintenance.<\/strong><br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>It\u2019s important to know that saddles undergo a number of changes throughout their lifecycle. The wool inside the saddle pad will become compressed or frayed as a result of warmth and wear and tear, causing the air to flow out of the pad. Your saddle might also exhibit asymmetries, especially if your horse tends to lean into one side.<\/p>\n<h5>No restrictions of freedom<\/h5>\n<p>A saddle check performed every three months ensures that your saddle remains in place, preventing discomfort.  You will be able to train without worry year round, and your horse can move around and perform freely, without
