Re: [RC] Wide/narrow twist - Zephyr Arabians--- rdcarrie@xxxxxxx wrote: I know for me, if I do much riding at a walk, my knees will hurt. I solve the issue by taking my feet out of the stirrups and letting my legs hang periodically when riding at a walk. I used to do this when I rode in regular treed saddles (dressage saddles mostly) -- lots of walking would prompt me to drop the stirrups and ride with my legs loose. And, now that you mention it, I realize I haven't had that urge at all since getting my Barefoot treeless saddle which to me feels just like riding bareback and my legs hang in, what is for me, a perfectly balanced and natural position. And, for what it's worth, there's basically no twist; it is as wide (or narrow I suppose, but I don't have any of those kind of horses) as the horse. I've ridden in other treeless saddles that are wider than the horse (so I understand those who hate treeless for that reason), but this particular one feels just like bareback to me. As someone who has always loved bareback, it's perfect. :) Not a plug for the saddle, just an observation. :) ~Nicole Zephyr Arabians http://www.zephyrarabians.com KattWmn Web Design http://www.kattwmn.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
