RC: Orthoflex buckles

[Leonard.LIESENS@DG10.cec.be]

Hi Truman,

This could be a solution for me because I have the same problem; what I did is cutting the 2 inch biothine leathers and profiling them like a concave curve; my problem was more the fact that the stirrup where going in the inside all the time and I became sore after a long time in the saddle.

But question with those biothane 1 inch leathers ... What about the buckle ? Are you using a standard 'english' buckle and if yes where do you put it (on the botton, near the stirrup ? because there is no way to put in on the top like on the english saddles). 

Thanks

Leonard, in Belgium

>>>>The most annoying thing I have ever found are those buckles and leather
"guards" on the OF saddles.  I could never solve the irratation
problem.  I took mine off and threw them away and now put on a pair of
one standard one inch biothane English leathers.

Now the saddle is great.

Truman
