Re: [RC] ORTHO FLEX - Chris Paus

In my case, it is a custom saddle and the offending
screw held the crupper ring in place. I simply removed
the screw and crupper ring and problem was solved.

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.
