I have been meaning to get Elliott's saddle checked as I know for sure he has changed shape!
Turns out, he's got more muscle, but the weight loss due to winter and made is back dip in more =(.
Luckily I manage to catch Malcolm (saddle fitter) just before he left after doing Francis' pony, Gem. Malcolm had a good look and decided that Ellie needed some more shims put in to lift the saddle off his back a bit more. (The shims are chunks of a foamy substance shaped to fit the contours of Ellie's back where he has atrophy)
Bringing the post forward again, unfortunately I've only been able to ride him once in the past month due to this blooming weather! But Malcolm definitely made the right decision as Ellie went fantastic!
As soon as the snow's gone hopefully we can get back on track, and maybe go to our first dressage test!
