    [RC] Tucker saddles - Ridecamp Guest


    Meg Dunkle1dog@xxxxxxx
    I've used the Tucker equitation endurance saddle for 2 years and it is the best saddle I've owned.  My horse and I both are comfy in it. We trail ride, practice dressage and even jump a little in it. It has lots of shoulder room and wide WB panels. Other saddles I've owned and had problems with include stubbens, courbettes, Circle y, Kieffer, and wintec.  None were endurance models however.  I think if you're going to spend long hours in the saddle, you need to stick to endurance models if you don't want a horse with a sore back.
    By the way, I feel the Tucker is correctly balanced, but I have doubts about some of the western models I've seened.  But correct position is a highly contraversial issue!  I also find the english girthing system problem free.
    I use a Skito pad with my Tucker, as the panels are a little firm on the horse side.
    I must add, the people at tucker were super nice to deal with.  Too bad you can't order factory direct any more.
