[RC] O-F saddles - Jonni - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: gary jgranch@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Jonni, Many of the last OF saddles were built on the system III and IV. These panels did not work well on any of their saddles. The softer the panel the more the problems. The best system ever built was the system II. Only one company uses this type system today and it has been modified to work at peak performance. http://www.4asaddle.com We are not experiencing the problems other companies are. Flex Panel Saddles work well when designed properly. The new panels built by AF and OF are problems waiting for an accident to happen. Many are breaking or are to weak and can cause serious injury to you or your horse. Engineering wise they are not designed for fit or comfort of your horse, they were designed to get new patents for their saddles. They are also rushing to get their market share of the flex panel system saddles. A flex panel saddle will work and distribute your weight better than any other type of saddle available today. Most distribute the average riders weight at less than 1/2 pound per square inch. A standard saddle distributes the averager riders weight at the rate of 4 to 6 pounds of pressure per squaare inch. Ask yourself or any expert in the field; At what point does damage occur????? Remember to choose the Saddle company carfully when you purchase a new saddle. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
