Yes, it was the X-Functional all-purpose Reactor Panel Saddle. And I did sit in the Endurance model and I ended up buying the Endurance model! It felt like home the minute I sat in it. I'll get it next week after the convention. I can't wait until the rain goes away and I get my new saddle and ride, ride, ride..... Kathy (5'0") & Beau J. (15.2HH) in wet Silicon Valley P.S. I had previously e-mailed privately, and this is the follow-up post that I goofed and sent to RideCamp, too! Or am I just confused? -----Original Message----- From: Thomas, Barb [mailto:thomas@amgen.com] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2000 2:35 PM To: 'Kathy Mayeda' Subject: RE: Stirrups & flaps Kathy, Was that the RP all purpose? Try their Endurance model. Since I'm only 5 feet tall, I also have very short legs and in most saddles I feel like I'm perched with my knees at the withers. In the RP endurance (which I wish I owned) and the Count WB dressage (which I do own) I feel like I have my leg on the horse.
