    [RC] leg up - Paddi


    I just went to the internet site. It looks just like the web handle off my brief case :-D
    I think I would want it padded with a neoprene or fleece  tube.
    It would be uncomfortable when weight is put on it I would think. Which could be why some horses don't like it.
    I also think that the saddle would still shift putting more pull on the strap then you realize because you step on the stirrup further back and it is just holding from the front leg. That is your wieght being distributed over a very small area. It would be like hanging with a piece of webbing under your arm pit supporting your own weight.
    It seems pricey for a plastic buckle , one snap and a few feet of web.
    Think I will test one out tomorrow on the horses.
