Re: Ortho Flex Loin Rubbing

[Vchorsegal@aol.com]

Hello-
  I  have run into several clients of mine that have had this problem. ( I am 
an endurance trainer .)  The salespeople told them that they were not riding 
correctly.
We used the same saddles on some of my guys and got the loin rub thing 
happening.  No real soreness, but eventually ..???  I love some of the older 
models I have ridden in, especially the English types.  We have tried many 
different body types eg: Arabs, Half Arabs, grades...  It seemed to fit the 
Tennessee Walkers pretty well- go figure !!  Most of the riders were told 
that they rode incorrectly, that must be it.  I also jumped the Sales Rep at 
Equuest in Del Mar this year about the stupid safety belt type stirrup 
leathers that kill your legs !  I must also ride incorrectly, per their 
standards !  He was nice, but had nothing to offer.  I told him that we would 
rather pay an extra hundred bucks and enjoy the saddle !  Oh Well ! That is 
all I have to say ! - Heidi Helly
