Re: [RC] ORTHO FLEX - Dot Wiggins

This is what was happening to all three of the "Express"
models I mentioned, besides the flex panels cracking.
They are fine now, I think the "spacers" are smaller than on the original.
(My old OF has the bolts tight to the tree, as it sounds like you fixed
yours.)

The starman ended up with a seriously damaged back and
a permanent lump from a saddle screw that worked
itself loose and poked him through all the padding...

I spent months taking him to vets, chiros etc, and one
day finally turned my saddle over and discovered the
problem. Boy did I feel like a bad horse mom. Now I
really inspect the underneath part of saddles.

 The other one does damage
evenly
on both sides. It is at the "pivots" that connect
the saddle to the
panels.

When mine got new panels they added little plastic
spacers that were the
"pivots". I looked at it and didn't like the idea so
I took them off. My
panels are just screwed on with submerged screws. I
do have to watch one
of them, it wants to back out. I need to put
something in there to keep
it tight.
