[RC] wide/narrow twist/ synergist saddle - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I think the twist is a very personal thing,  I rode in an SR
Enduro for many many years and could never figure out why I
hurt after a 50, finally got into a narrow twist and that
was the answer, the enduro was too wide.  It's the same
reason why I don't like the treeless saddles- spreads my
hips to much.

As for the Synergist saddles are you talking the endurance or 
DSS english.  The western one I borrowed put me in an excellent
position, very balance.  It wasn't made for my horse and it was
too long in the back.  I have heard that comment for others. As
for the DSS I rode in mine for sometime and it seemed to be ok 
but then I switched to a dressage saddle and went back and tried
my DSS.  I don't like the stirrup position, it tends to push
me forward.  You also have to use webbers or the buckle of the
stirrup leather will bulge underneath. I think if they had 
kept the stirrup bar where most saddles are it would be better,
but if I remember that was their selling point was supposedly
the stirrup bar in the back position but your leg in a better
position, well at least not for me.  I can't recommend the DSS
but the endurance saddle seens very nice if it isn't too long
for your horse.
