Last week I received an email from William Healey of Horse.com. He complimented my blog and website and posted a link to an informative article he has written about fitting western saddles to horses. He gave me permission to post the article on the website.

I decided that it would be more appropriate to simply post the email and the link to his article, giving full credit where it is due.

Thanks Bill.

Here’s the email:

Hello, Tony.

My name is Bill Healey, and I am the content writer for Horse.com. I was searching for article ideas on an assortment of topics related to western riding and just riding in general when I came across one of your older posts “How to Get on a Horse” on the Western Trail Rider website. Love your site and the Facebook page! I think you discuss everything there is to cover about how fun and exciting riding can be. I also enjoyed how your website was the perfect blend of entertaining and informative.

Last year we created a guide to measuring and fitting western saddles that your readers may find helpful. The article covers everything from how to fit the saddle the horse, fit the saddle for the rider, how to properly evaluate the saddle on the horse and how to avoid common saddle fitting mistakes.

Here is the link – http://www.horse.com/horse-articles/measuring-and-fitting-western-saddles/9843/

I think some of your readers could potentially find the guide pretty useful and, hopefully, entertaining.

Keep up all the great work,

Bill Healey
