I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	LM Special is supposed to sit behind the shoulder I think. That's where it rides on my horse.

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	At her clinic they put a bare tree on a horse and had it placed behind the shoulder, that is why I thought they were placed behind the shoulder.

I think saddles with those can sit behind the shoulder

Texas Lone Star Posts: 5318 Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked	Don't know about DJ saddle, but I was taught to snug the cinch just enough to keep the saddle from rolling and jip (trot) your horse a few times in a circle around you and then where the saddle sits after- that's where the sweet spot is. Cinch up and ride. My Martin Ironhorse with the adjustable cinch plate sat just behind the shoulders.

That's where it rides on my horse. Don't think so, Google Lynn Mckenzie on YouTube she goes through saddle for and if I remember right the saddle is on the shoulder I'm pretty sure it's right behind. If I remember right, she puts it on the shoulder then slides it back where it fits the best.

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I put all my saddles behind the shoulder to free their shoulders up.

Location: In my own little world	I set my Pozzi's behind the shoulder and when I bought my 1st one I had a tree fit to him so I could get the best tree for him. I have a couple of them and that is where they both sit.
