[RC] saddle woes - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: erin foster erinhfoster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi........I've reading ridecamp for about a year now.........just got my 4 year old Arab back from her 30 days of training.........and have been on a whole two trail walks......about 45 minutes each.........rode her in my Sport Saddle.....(which I've used for about a year on my app/tb and had no problems).........well.......I noticed on the rides that the saddle was doing some sliding forwards and backwards.........and after checking her over discovered she's sore in her left shoulder up high (slightly below the withers).........I saddled her up and checked....and it really is tight in that spot..........and upon further checking found that she's unevenly muscled in her shoulders....with her left being the stronger......So.........now I guess I need to change saddles........Any advice as to what kind of saddle would best fit my horse's situation? From what I've seen, the Rector Panel looks like the best bet with her uneven shoulders...............I also liked the Ansur......both are extremely pricey though......Thanks for the help.....Erin ===========================================================People in Alabama swear by manure tea as an herbal remedy for colds. ~ Lisa Redmond ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
