RE: [RC] WIDE torsion saddle - Brittany DavisHi all, I was able to follow some of the recommendations given to me about the wide seat/feel of the torsion saddles this weekend. Here's my results: *Replaced the western fenders with my english leathers. Did help some, felt better and less bulk under my leg. *Took off the seat cover. felt much more secure and a deeper seat. Suprisingly the velcro and exposed stirrup bars didn't seem to bother me on the short 1-hour ride. Can't say what they'd do after many hours. *I did not take out the saddle inserts because I felt these did not effect the width that I was uncomfortable with. Besides, that would defeat the purpose of having the endurance model. My final thoughts are that the width mostly comes from cushioning that is placed in the saddle flap. makes the saddle about 2 inches wider on either side of the horse. that's 4 inches of extra width and not a very close-contact feel. I also felt a lot of side-to-side movement with this saddle. This is just my personal review. The saddle has it's ups and downs, but it is not the saddle for me. Hope this helps anyone looking at them. try it out first! Brittany __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
