Re: [RC] desparately seeking saddle - Karen Sullivan

Can the position of the knee
roll on the FreeForm be changed?  Lots of saddles now have the knee
rolls attached by velcro so they can be moved.  If so, try moving them
very far forwards to see if they then clear your knee.  You might be
among those of us with long thighs.  That can make finding a saddle with
knee rolls that fits harder since your thigh length and seat size don't
match up.

No,the knee roll on the Freeform is moulded, and not moveable..  I am very
long thighed and it
was not really in the right place for me, either.

To me, with the English saddles, the whole design of seat size and knee roll
placement only fits a certain range of "normal" people.  It assumes your as
your
leg gets longer, your butt and thighs get bigger too.....That's not my case.
I do
not need a huge seat.

I have a Reactor Panel taht was custom made for me; I am almost 6 ft.
tall....but
had to set the stirrup bar BACK, and also the flap straighter to be able to
have
my legs back under me alighned so that I was sitting correctly for posting
without
my feet ahead of myself....
