[RC] OrthoFlex - Dot Wiggins

I've an old one, really early model, that I love.   Got it well used almost
ten years ago.  And so far it has fit everything.  Honestly!

I've friends with newer models, that worked well, then seemed to cause some
back problems.  Careful inspection showed one of the flex panels had
cracked.  Sent it back (to the current company) last fall.  Horses were much
happier, seems to have been a fix.   (They replaced the flex panels, and all
the bolts that are part of the flex system.)    Such a success they sent the
second one, and that came out well also.  Seem to fit better now without the
blue  inserts in the booties.
I think the cost was around $300 each,  plus shipping.

Another friend who had been having a lot of back troubles with several
horses talked to the present OF folks, seems some of the later models by the
original company used bolts that were not the right lengths.
She sent hers to be fixed, bought another different OF
she likes that fits well.  Haven't heard how the repairs worked for her.

I would not trade my old one for any of the newer ones, but that is just my
personal preference.
