March 18: Saddle Fitting Night, Painted Bar Stables, Burdett, NY, at 4:00pm Join us as we re-fit our horses for saddles for the upcoming season. We will be refitting our entire herd and using them as examples of how to properly fit a saddle to a horse.
Did you know that not every saddle fits every horse? Just because the saddles fit each horse last year, doesn't mean it fits now. Horses change shape just like humans and it is important that the saddle fits properly and does not cause pain.Painted Bar Stables, 4093 Lake Avenue (Rte. 79) Burdett, NY 14818 • 607.216.8141 http://www.paintedbarstables.com/index.html
