Betsy,
This statement caught my eye, since I have arthritis up my left side,
particularly in the hip, and I have had to make a mental adjustment to
compensate. Now it is fine, but I would submit to you that it could well be
you physsically And that your horse has compensated in a way that causes your
saddle to list. I am not married to nor do I really soppurt chiropractic
work; however, it does have a definite place, and you might consider it for
you and your horse. It doesn't sound like a saddle problem, just that the
Stitchdown is more affected by the problem than some other rigid tree
saddles, IMHO.
