        Figure 12.11 Parts of the saddle



        Once suitably sized saddles have been selected, the following checks should be made before

        placing them on the horse.
        •    The stitching and quality of the leather should be checked. There should be no creases or

             cracks in the leather panels or the flaps of the saddle. The leather should be smooth and
             supple.
