Re: [RC] Center Fired Rigging. - KathyZ1I have a broad, flat backed mare with VERY well sprung ribs.She was EXTREMELY cinchy with any saddle with regular rigging. Since I've been using a saddle with center fire rigging the problem has virtually vanished. The rigging does NOT pull the saddle forward even tho she has a large barrel. She does, however have very good withers which I'm sure help. At any rate, I'm very glad that I switched to center fire. So is my mare. Kathy Someone asked: Can anyone explain the purpose, pro's and/or cons of Center Fire riging? I've just purchased (but have not yet received) a saddle with center fire rigging for my young Paso. One of my stablemates says that it could pull the saddle forward onto the shoulders, which would not be desirable for a gaited horse.
