Karen,

I test rode an RP and had it fitted to both my horses by Carmi. I had
the Baker VSD and the Endurance model for our guys. My mother's extra
wide horse moved better with that saddle than any other time, except
bareback. It was an extremely *nice* saddle, very good quality. Mother
didn't like it though. It's got a narrow twist and big external knee
blocks. They dug into her thighs and the twist was too narrow. I loaned
it to my riding buddy who has a mare that was the same width as Shogun
then and she really liked it. She did about a 20 mile ride in it and was
very happy in it.

The Baker was very secure and my mare rode better in it than she had in
years. Carmi pressure tested my saddles and told me what I already knew,
they didn't fit! Hence the problems when I'd been riding. Sadly Star was
still lame from a kick in her hocks and I didn't get to ride much in
them.

If I weren't going to school next year or could take an RP I'd have at
least one in my tack room.
