RE: [RC] Wintec endurance saddle - heidi

 The proper distance between the low point in the saddle seat and the
stirrup bar, to sit in an upright balanced seat, is the same as the
distance between the ball of your foot and your heel. This allows you to
maintain shoulder to hip to heel alignment with a vertical stirrup
leather. The wintec endurance only comes in a 17 1/2 " seat.
  My guess is that your tall skinny husband has large feet and that the
(relatively small) seat size forces your pelvis forward of the deepest
spot.

Bingo on both counts--as I say, different builds of people are differently
affected by how the saddle is built.

My other reservation about the endurance model is that the pro
suede tends to stay wet, whereas the slick stuff the 500s are made out
of never gets wet.

Hmmm.... Have yet to get ours wet other than cleaning them--guess living
in the desert has SOME advantages...  <g>
