Saddle fitting resources?

First of all, I would just like to note that I have and will always use a professional saddler when it comes to saddles for my horse, this is just something I'd like to learn more about.

Does anyone have any good text of video links on the topic of saddle fitting? As I said, the topic interests me. I have done some browsing but I haven't turned up the greatest resources as of yet.

    So far the best I've found for explaining saddle fit (most this just talks about wither tracing) it http://www.ridgemountsaddlery.com/How_To_Do_A_With...

    They explain things a bit too simply but that is because I think too many non-horse savvy people read it too.

    I do alittle bit of saddle sales and I get asked this a lot... One thing most sites don't talk about is the role the saddle pad can play in saddle fit. I remember back when I was a kid in 4h there was some decent articles on it but I've not seen any since.

    Nor have I!!!!!

    There are several sites that profess to show how to fit a saddle but I wouldn't want them to fit a bareback pad on a donkey.
