[RC] Almost a wreck - Sundaez
A couple days ago I posted about my new Skito pad. Well this evening I went
out for a fast 8 miles....trotting, tolting, cantering and flying pace. Jenni
was pretty fired up as he received a body clip today and that always makes
him feel good.
Apparently the pad fit different once the body was clipped.
There is a bike track near my house so I usually gallop and fly pace this
last stretch home. We were going pretty fast and I noticed Jenni's gait
seemed loose....the saddle was shifting fast from side to side and the front
of the pad disappeared! I pulled him down into a gallop and slipped my hand
under the saddle and FELT NO PAD. Looked over my shoulder and the pad was
hanging off his rump caught under the cantle of the saddle!!!!!! Got him
stopped and carefully got off..the saddle slipped to the side, and the pad
fell to the ground. How I managed to ride that I don't know. Saddle was
totally loose. How the pad managed to squeeze all the way out from under the
saddle is beyond me...never had that happen before!
Anyway not sure this pad will work out as I recinched him and it was loose
again by the time I got home...1 mile later.
