Re: [RC] Forward leathers and no knee rolls ? - rides2far


By the time I get

a few blankies and a booster pad under the saddle, the saddle is no 
longer> near his body, LOL, but nothing touches or rubs.


This reminds me of someone I met who claims he "hovers above the saddle"
to keep the weight off the horse's back. I just haven't figured out how
to pull off this weightless thing myself.



What I need to know is what endurance or Aussie saddles have

**forward** leathers and no knee pads ?   :-)


If the stirrups are "forward" your torso will be "forward" to get over
them (as in a proper jumping position.) Good for jumping, but a killer on
the lower back after hours in the saddle.
