RE: [RC] [RC] knee strain and BMSS - Diana Peterson


Hi


I have had the same problem...i ride a BM saddle and a Sharon saare saddle. In the saare i just have sometimes problems because i had a broken tailbone.
With the BM saddle i am a short person ,5.2, I replaced the stirrup leathers with biothane 1 inch leathers and it is a lot less strain on my knees. However it took a while to get the muscles used to the wider twist and you don't need to post so high on a bm saddle.
It also may be that your stirrups are not far enough back...you mentioned you have a trail model...the stirrups are usually further forward then on an endurance model.

Hey guys, I am demoing a BoB Marshall Sport sadddle trail model .


After about 45 minutes I notice feeling a 'strain' at the top of my right knee cap. Like a tightness. I have only experienced this before while using a n exercise bike, which I gave up and went to a treadmill.
Now I havent't ridden regularly for over a year, move and all. I have been doing lots of other work and exercise so I am not totally unfit.
I am used to a freeswinging webber on my aussie/englsih type tree.
I also may need to go up another notch , though it felt right, but, I did notice being on my toes a couple times. Maybe cause it was a bit more forward. Or cause My horse was being opionated.....
Position? Length? or cause they are more rigid?
