Re: [RC] Saddle fit - rides2far

  I learned this the hard way.  I changed from a 17.5in to an 18in 
in the exact same saddle, same size tree and all of my saddle fit 
issues were solved.  Once again, I was sitting on my seat bones and 
not tilting foward, which was putting too much pressure on the tree 
of the saddle causing pressure points.  I


You consider it bad not to be "tilting forward"?  There is no doubt that
I sit on my seat bones. My saddle seat has two hollowed out indentations
where my seat bones are. Howver, that has me balanced over my feet. When
i had a saddle I leaned forward in my lower back killed me!  My horse
never has a problem with pressure points (OF Express) but now that I have
completely ridden the cush out of my seat's padding I will get pressure
sore problems directly on my seat bones if I have to ride at a walk for
an extended time. No problem doing 100 at a trot though.
