[RC] Saddles by Gov't Committee - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: ti tivers@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Wow, why didn't I think of this! The FTC in charge of saddle design! Leads one to wonder what kind of mind came up with this glorious concept. It by far outreaches the attempts of Cosequin to establish a monopoly via goverenment regulation, so you can't fault the ambition behind it. And imagine the kind of regulated saddle design the FTC would come up with. A kind of "one design fits all" approach--a saddle that will work with horses, donkeys, elephants and camels, perhaps. Or, for safety purposes, an ejection design that would have the rider safely parachuting to earth as the horse falls into a ravine or breaks down on the racetrack. Save those riders from themselves! Just think, for a mere $50,000 you could have a saddle that does everything--maybe a hot walker/washer/dryer built in. With a little tag saying "FTC approved, do not remove on pain of death or dismemberment". Let's all join Saddletech in designing the perfect government-regulated saddle--what features would you DEMAND be included? I, for one, would require reclining capability, with beer can holders. And a quick-release AK 47 holster for the settling the Trail Rage disputes that seem to be an overwhelming problem in the sport these days. ti =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
