Should I try a new saddle with or without a numnah, since I always intend to use one?

Master saddler Andrew Reilly advises…..
Many saddlers like to see the saddle bare on the horse’s back but it important to allow for what is ‘normal gear’ (numnah, saddle cloth etc) for the horse. After all, when trying on shoes it would feel unnatural to take your socks off if they’re normally worn!
