Subject: RC: Question regarding Wintec w/
Cair panels and white hairs
Infynitie infynitie@hotmail.com
I've just
read what everyone is saying about the Cair panels, so I take it
that dry
spots from this saddle aren't exactly common. I noticed with my
old Wintec,
a Pro Endurance, that my horse was getting white hairs and dry
spots. So I
figured, OK, time to switch . . . and I got a Wintec 500 AP
with Cair
panels instead. My horse seems very happy with the saddle. Only
problem is
. . . there are still the dry spots. Well, sort of - - there's
only one
spot, and it's over on the left side. It's usually about
fist-sized. My
horse doesn't react when I push the area with my fingers,
touch it, etc. so
she couldn't be in that much pain if any. Because it's
only on the left
side, and because I've had one woman notice that my
saddle sometimes slides
over to the right, I'm assuming that's the
problem. I always look down and
try to keep the saddle as centered as I
can, and I don't think it's that
serious since she's the only one who's
ever noticed, but unless somebody
else can think of another reason for the
single dry spot, I'd like to know
what I can do to fix this! The woman
said I look like I'm sitting perfectly
centered - - it's just that the
saddle's not. I wonder if I'm putting extra
weight in my right stirrup. I
had hip problems as a baby (which also gives
me problems when I ask for
the right lead) - - could that have anything to
do with it? I'm getting a
breastcollar soon - - would that help keep the
saddle centered at
all?
