Re: Re: [RC] [RC] (Skito pad used with Boz saddle or any other flexible tree) - Sullivan
Renie,
I looked carefully at these several times at the
convention; sat in them, and tried with all my might to make that sample tree
flex. I could not see ANY flex to it at all...it seemed just at rigid as
the ralide tree. As for the photo that shows Boz bending a tree with his hands;
he told me that it was not one of the "real trees" used, just something to make
the point.

used with Boz saddle or any other flexible tree)
Because I and so many others LOVE our Boz saddles, I feel I need
to clarify the following statement; "Personally, I would not use
the Skito pad under any flexible panel saddle..."
A Boz saddle does NOT have flexible panels; THE WHOLE TREE
ITSELF FLEXES. It is made of some type of indestructible
material (you can run over it with a D-4 caterpillar) and it is hollow,
therefore allowing the tree to fit the horse's back. The pads are
attached with Velcro to the bottom of the panels, and can be 1/2 inch thick up
to what ever you feel your horse needs. My old getting swaybacked horse
takes 2 inch pads, the young, fat one takes 1/2 pads. Hope this
helps.Renie
