@totalhunterjumper I thought Arabians had narrow backs? At least, the ones that I've worked with do. Interesting.

A LOT of those bad habits are also caused by riding with a bit.

@iloveCASH100 well depends maybe on the breeding maybe its just a marking that happened, if you know the owner was very resposible then its prob just a marking or a bit of rain rot from a wet blanet :) but i unno i dont really know your horse so i couldnt tell ya

@CaseyHorses i know but the people that had her before were very responsible and would never put a saddle that didnt fit on her.....

@iloveCASH100 once the fur turns white it'll always be white just in case you didnt know that :)

Maybe they should have a saddle blanket under the saddle, that might stop the pain a bit..
My horse always bites at a pole when i put the saddle on because she is girth shy.
