Re: [RC] Myths on Flex Panel Saddles - Marv

From: Marv
If you have a bridging saddle and the saddle no longer bridges when
sat in, regardless of the tree size or shape, the ends will come toward
the middle as weight is applied.  When the weight is lifted the ends
of the saddle will go away from the middle.  This back and forth
movement works on the wither and loin area.
*I am not sure why you are assuming the saddle would be bridging  If you begin
the fit with a tree that does fit the back, then it is not bridging. 
 
With Reactor Panel, unlike many other saddle designs, you can see the actual bottom
of the tree and place it on the bare back of the horse to check fit.  Many saddles have
so much padding or flocking you cannot really determine the shape of the tree inside.

The point I was addressing is the flex panel saddle conforming
to the rocker.  According to my understanding, the FP saddle
tree is not fitted to the horse.  It conforms to whatever horse
it is put on.

I think you and I are on two different saddles.  I'm talking
FP and you're talking RP.
