[Guest] [RC] Which lining to choose for Torsion Endurance saddle - Ridecamp GuestOn Behalf Of Bonnie Snodgrass Sarah Rose I am trying to make up my mind which lining would be best for the torsion endurance saddle. Sarah, Just a brief warning. Treeless saddles often don't work well on gaited horses for longer rides (as in endurance and its training) because the rider sits down on the horses back much more than a rider that is posting or standing to a trot. Since there is no tree under the riders seat bones the rides weight isn;'t distributed as much as with a treed saddle. I had a Lag saddle (same as a Torsion) and had back problems with my mare and I'm a light weight rider. Also I post the trot! But the Torsions have the stirrups hung by a single strap directly over the center of the saddle so even when up in the stirrups the riders weight is concentrated in a small area. I switched to a sport saddle and never had a problem again. I just wanted to let you know the possible drawbacks to this saddle if you plan to ride for hours at a time. Gotta go!
