In the Saddlery and Symmetry chapter, Gillian is joined by Master Saddlers Laurence Pearman and Catherine Baker from the Society of Master Saddlers for an insightful look into saddle design and fit. They explore the anatomical challenges of saddle fitting, how to assess fit, what to expect from a professional fitting session, and the impact of asymmetry on both horse and rider.
 
The chapter also features a fascinating interview with research scientist and biomechanist Dr. Russell MacKechnie Guire and saddle engineer David Kempsell, who discuss the science behind saddles, symmetry, and rider-horse interaction. Whether you're passionate about improving performance or simply want to ensure your horse’s comfort, this is a must-watch chapter for every rider.
