Re: [RC] Short backed arabian ...need help - Jody Rogers-Buttram

Hi,
 
  My daughter has a very short, and short backed 1/2 arab.  I worried that we would have problems with his back.  She is riding, of all things on a short backed horse, an ortho-flex that has the long panels.  He has done one 100 mile ride, several 50's, including a two day.....never had a problem with him.   Does this pad have a really soft pile?  could be the way he moves, with a lot of side to side....causing the "fish-tailing" of the saddle to rub him.
 
Good luck.

Hi

I have a really short backed arabian gelding. I am at the end of my rope...
My equipedic pad ( barrel style ) has rubbed his back so much that a lot of
his hair is gone in two spots right were the kidneys are.

So what can i use on him now ? I tryed everything.I really liked the feel of
the Equipedic pad. Does that mean i have to go to and english saddle ? I
had a broken tailbone and have to ride a treeless saddle. I ride a BM saddle
, round skirt on him and we never had problems. I think the english version
on the Equipedic pad would be too short ?

Can someone tell me what they use on there short backed arabs. ?

Diana :-(
