Re: RC: sports saddle



This is a problem with Sports Saddles on horses with short backs or when
the saddle sits toward the rear.  The corners of the skirt rub the loins
on either side.  I sold my SportSaddle because I could not solve this
problem with Sunny.  I ended up purchasing a custom saddle (S.R. Enduro)
which worked just fine.  There are some "fixes" for this problem.  You
might want to give SportTack a call.  They at one time advertised a pad
that would help this.  It's causes by the saddle "flexing" because the
tree is two pieces.  If you find a cure, post the info.  I liked the
saddle, but just couldn't make it work.

Regards, Jim and Sun of Dimanche

> I just received a sports saddle.  I really love the ride it gives me, very balanced and secure.  I have a problem. I use the equalizer pad and the loins of my horses back are rubbed.  It is like a rub see say when someone uses a breast plate and it rubs the hair.  As far as his back being sore! I am not sure.  I have tested it as best I can, he seems as if he may be tender but not bad.  Has anyone else eperienced this?  Is there a break in peroid for the saddles?  I worry that when I really begin training, riding at a trot for an hour at a time, this could be a problem.  Sore back.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
