RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Woolback vs. Skito



Good point... I haven't ridden the SS enough to know if that's a big issue.
Seems to me though that the spine is pretty wide (2 in or so?) and it would
take a really wide gullet to make a real effective channel. Anybody else
that rides a SS have any experience with soring the horse's spine? (or
preventing it?)

Steph

>>But, besides cooling, the gullet also keeps pressure off the horse's
spine.
Or am I missing something here?
