RE: [RC] saddle fit/friction problem - Bonnie Peralez
<<I see white hairs sprinkled in all along where the
panels are resting, in the same shape as the panels. Is this due to poor
saddle fit, or is this a friction and/or heat issue?>>
If the saddle seems to fit well, it could be due to heat. I
had a Synergist saddle made for my horse and he would get white hairs in the shape
of the panels. I sent it back and had it made a little wider. It still caused
white hairs. I was using a gel pad. I switched to a Supracor pad and the white
hairs went away and the saddle has been perfect. I guess the gel pad caused too
much heat and the Supracor pad breathes.
