Re: [RC] Tacky tack pad under a Skito - Karen Sullivan
Just talked to a gal with a propane-tank-shaped
Morgan.....she uses the Dixie Midnight under the skito; saddle still slipped,
finally got what we all use, a smooth neoprene western girth from Chicks with
elastic Ends (called Sweet Spot). Said for first time saddle did NOT
slip
Well, my husband sure is having a tough time
keeping his sportsaddle on his very round, mutton withered horse. He's
just learning to ride and having the saddle slid down the side of the horse is
very unnerving for him. I'm sure that once his balance improves this
will happen less and less but in the meantime I need to find something soon to
help him out before he changes his mind and decides horses and riding are no
fun at all! Having him ride and look forward to endurance rides next
year is a dream come true for me so I'll listen to any and all
advice.
For those of you using the Skito Equalizer pad
have you ever tried the Tacky Tack pad along with it? Or, do you replace
the Skito with the Tacky Tack? Since he's a heavy weight rider he feels
its kinder to his horse's back with the Skito there.
Also, which thickness works best? The
single or the double? And....while I'm asking all these questions have
any of you tried the Tacky Tack girth? Opinions?
