RE: RE: Re: Height in FEI Horses



Title: RE: RE: Re: Height in FEI Horses

I have an Orthoflex Express Lite, 1995 vintage.  The panels measure every bit of 26".  I never realized how long it was until I tried putting it on a smaller horse.  Our two older horses are proportionate but large.  Major is 15.2+ H QH/TB cross, and Rocket, the big Arab.  The saddle fit both of them so well.

I guess the important things is - Rocket's proportional.  That back on a 14.2 Arab would be awful.  On Rocket, it belongs there.

Rocket (aka ABF Challenger)
Now just try to get up on him at the vet checks, late in the ride!!!

Dear Linda;
Wow, that IS a long back!  I measured my horses recently for custom tree
bars and my little 14.1 guy will require an 18" bar for his back.  I
don't think they even make bars 26" long, tho I could be wrong...

Rocket has a back that is long enough to accommodate a saddle that
measures 26" on the bars.  That's LONG, and he still has some room left.
