@Skib I'm not leaning over to hold the iron, just far enough to hold the leather near the skirt of the saddle. It probably sounds harder and dodgier than it is, in reality it's an easy move but just needs a little more height. School jump blocks wouldn't be high enough though (and we seem to have proper jump wings rather than blocks) unless turned onto the highest side at which point they aren't stable. We've been working on standing at the mounting block, but at the moment with the roofers in and even more stuff around it it isn't a good time and he's not a horse who, at this point in time, copes well with having his boundaries pushed too far.
@Mary Poppins why didn't I think of a decorators step, that would probably be ideal!
