Re: [RC] Dressage Saddles for Endurance Riding (and Dressage Training) - Zephyr Arabians--- Heidi Smith <heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Bottom line here is that if horses have poor back conformation, saddles will invariably slip. If they have great back conformation, saddles won't slip. Yep. And that's one thing I'm well aware of with my mare that the saddle slips forward. She has poor "saddle position." That's why I wanted to answer the person who originally posed the question. If the horse has a bad saddle slippage problem, a type of saddle may not be a solution. Also, "dressage saddles" are not necessarily going to fit better. Well made saddles that fit the horse can be of any variety. :) Oh, and Heidi and I have had the conversation about dressage training before. :) Many people confuse "dressage" with "competitive dressage" when in reality they are not necessarily the same; many dressage riders will never set foot in a show ring. The word "dressage" means training, and good basic dressage should ideally be the foundation of any horse's training (and the rider's training too actually!). :) ~Nicole ===== * Zephyr Arabians & KattWmn Web Design * * http://www.zephyrarabians.com * * http://www.kattwmn.com * * From the "Horse Capital of the USA" Norco, CA * * * * You have the right to remain silent, anything * * you say can be misquoted and used against you. * __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
