General Information
This leaflet can be printed out and given to saddlers who are asked to adjust the flocking on a BALANCE saddle. It is important that the saddler does not damage the saddle by using the wrong flocking or over-flocking, etc. It is also important that they do not try to flock the saddle to fit the horse, without understanding Functional Saddling and without understanding the way the saddle works with the pads.
This is an old document that was created many years ago to help explain/show some of the basic principles of the BALANCE method of Functional Saddling. We are working on the production of better presentations, but thought this simple PDF worth including on the Downloads area as it contains some good information.
This is the information we need you to send to us when you ask for a Distant Consultation.
We'll need to see these photos before we can start helping you with a query...
