A. This is one of the main causes of back problems in horses. Not only can a badly fitting saddle or roller cause back pain and a back problem, it can also obstruct correction of the problem. Furthermore, if a horse is experiencing pain or discomfort from an ill-fitting saddle, it will move incorrectly, risking knock-on damage to limbs (e.g. spavin, DJD) via demonstrable mechanisms. The holistic approach embraces these phenomena.
