Hi Pamela,

I like my Sports Saddle now that I'm used to the feel of it. It took a while 
though. The horses seem to like it also, and it is the only one that hasn't 
caused pressure point problems with my Paint.
The thing I don't like is, when going down hill, I can't put my feet forward 
enough to feel comfortable, which puts a real strain on knees and thighs. The 
stirrups are set back and since they are set on low on the saddle, it just 
doesn't give the range I'd like. Also, when it's on my Paint, I have to use 
the double rigging, to hold it up on him, but then that makes the girth 
buckles right under my leg. Ouch.  So now I guess I'll have to get those hot 
looking half-chaps. Will it ever end? <g>
Otherwise, I like the saddle.
Jan
