On howrse Which piece of tack should be the last one introduced when starting a young horse?
To give a blanket answer on this would be misleading. It really depends upon the age of the horse. Horses as young as 1 year can be taught to drive so they would have a bit in their mouth first. Older horses being started under saddle might have the bit and bridle introduced after the saddle has been put on. The answer depends a lot on the age and breed of horse and what its end purpose will be.

What should you look for in an ill fitting saddle?
The saddle shouldn't be touching or rubbing on the withers at all. You should easily be able to put some fingers between the saddle pad and the front of the saddle. The seat should be wide or narrow enough to fit your horse's back correctly. The base should not be too curved or straight for your horse's back. Basically, a saddle shouldn't restrict the horse's movement in any way.

To measure, place a flexible measuring tape from the front of the withers to the last rib. Then, measure the width of the horse's back at the widest point. Use these measurements to find a saddle that fits properly.
