For saddle position (front to back) you demonstrated the extremes of too far forward and too far back but how precise is the "sweet spot" for the position? This is an area I continue to have lots of uncertainty about when saddling. Thanks!

That’s a great question! I’m hoping to make a video soon about saddle fit. The key is to find the shoulder blade of the horse! I might have to do some horse painting to show it!!
