Horses often react to badly fitting saddles or poorly balanced riders,
but it is difficult for the rider to pin-point the exact problem.
Fortunately there is now a way to tell exactly what the horse is feeling
by means of a pressure measuring pad, placed under the saddle. Known
as the pliance system, it records the amount of pressure under the
saddle and the weight distribution of the rider.
This can help to show pressure points created by badly fitting saddles
as well as accurately measure the weight distribution of the rider.

We feel this would be an excellent tool to help assess the fit of
saddles, and to improve a rider's seat. Have you used this product
or a similar one? Would you be prepared to invest in one?
