Ridecamp: RE: [RC] asymmetrical horse

Is your horse now travelling straight? Have someone ride behind you and
check your horse AND you for straightness. If your horse is still travelling
crooked then train on that after eliminating back, hock and stifle problems.
Then work with a knowledgeable person on your own strightness. I used to
turn saddles to the right badly till I got myself straighter. Came on me
when I went thru a loing period with no lessons. Benn riding 40 years now
and I still need check-ups with instructors.

I know I can not possibly be the only one with this problem. My saddle fits
my horse when standing . When we start down the trail it goes off to the
left. I have to lower my right stirrup and raise my left stirrup to sort of
balance out. This does not solve problem. My horse also swings his back end
over to the left going down the trail, like a dog. I had chiropractor
adjustment and a refit on my saddle. Problem still apparent. So now I guess
I need some kind of  an orthopedic pad. I need help knowing how others have
delt with such a problem, and what kind of an ortopedic pad works best. I do
not want to spend hundreds of dollars on various pads before I find the one
that works. I have read the info on a saddleright pad and an air back pad.
they both claim their pads works best. I need your input. I want to make the
right choice and help my horse feel comfortable , not make the problem
worse. Thank you for your time .Lianne
