What is a BALANCE Test Ride?
The BALANCE Test Ride is an opportunity for you and your horse to try out the BALANCE saddling system and several BALANCE saddles. It will allow you to compare the current movement of your horse in his existing saddle with those available in the BALANCE line. If your saddle is currently too wide for your horse or is a treeless saddle, it may be of interest to try it using a BALANCE pad system to see if there is an improvement in the movement and comfort of your horse.
