My husband needs a narrow twist, to prevent knee pain. Yep, it is his knees
that hurt if he rides a wide twist saddle. I have no problem with either. If
you are comfortable, no odd pains etc., then ride it. (as long as it fits
your horse well too <wink>)


If you have knee pain when riding, check your stirrup
length, one or both may be too long and the pain may
come from continually trying to keep your feet in place.

If it is an English type saddle with stirrup leathers
instead of fenders, the leather twist should follow the
curve of your leg.  If it does not, the leather forms a
bump about where your knee is.
