Re: [RC] White hairs on back - Carolyn BurgessMelanie: First let me say that I personally love the Torsion for me. For my horse, it didn't work. I had similar white marks on my horse, but from the stirrup hangars. The damage happened to your horse a while ago. The white hair is a sign of damage caused either by the saddle or the way you ride in the saddle. It is showing now because your horse has probably started to shed and this is the new hair growing in where the damage occurred. Maybe you will be lucky like I was when I stopped using the Torsion. The white hair shedded out and bay hair grew back in it's place. My only suggestion is that you find another saddle.

They are oval, about the size of a small fist, and right under where my tush would be on either side of her spine. Now, I know what white hairs normally indicate, HOWEVER, let me say that I ride in a Torsion treeless saddle w/ Equipedic pad. There is nothing hard to rub or pinch! A friend thought it might be too much heat, but the Equipedics are supposed to disperse heat. I have not ridden her hard since a 30-miler the first part of July and they just showed up a couple of weeks ago. Or could it maybe have something to do w/ her being a paint? thanks, melanie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
