When a horse suddenly develops a performance problem or bad attitude, and neither seem to be remedied by training techniques or medical care, the owner often faces months--"even years--"of frustration and career limitation. Dr. Joyce Harman, veterinarian and respected saddle-fitting expert, claims that 75 percent of horses with such problems are simply reacting to pain caused by ill-fitting saddles. And, as she explains in this thorough, highly illustrated book, poor saddle fit can be corrected with patience and know-how. Here, she teaches the reader: how to determine if a saddle is sound and properly accommodates both horse and rider; how to individualize saddle fit or find a new saddle appropriate in size and style; and how to treat pre-existing back pain and prevent its future occurrence. Dr. Harman owns and operates Harman Equine Clinic, a holistic, primarily equine veterinary practice in Washington, Virginia.
