The newest episode of Dear Horse World is here!

A saddle that looks fine might still be causing chronic pain, behavior issues, and even breaking the trust between horse and rider. Jochen Schleese has spent decades uncovering the hidden ways saddle fit affects both horse and rider. In this episode, he sits down with Noëlle to expose the realities of poor saddle fit, why so many saddles aren’t designed for women, and the small changes can make a big difference in comfort, confidence, and connection.

In December, one of our Facebook posts sparked a big debate: does the American equitation system put too much pressure on riders to look the part?

We're joined this week by Nicki Shahinian-Simpson, who knows what it’s like to chase the perfect position — she’s won both Maclay and Medal Finals. But she’s also seen how that pressure can steal your confidence.

Tune in as Nicki and Noelle break down the realities of position: what actually matters, how it affects your riding, and why strength, individuality, and skill should take priority over fitting the mold.
