Re: [RC] Freeform and SR Enduro - Jeanne Slominski
Kim,
Sounds like your horse's back has changing quite a bit from the original
fitting. Have Steve refit the Enduro. I have two SR Enduros. And have
had them refit when the backs change.
I have some questions regarding the Freeform
saddle and the saddle which I currently have which is a SR Enduro. I am
contemplating selling my SR and trying a Freeform. If I like it and I can sell
my SR will probably get one.
Anyways, this past ride season my horse started
to develop white hairs from my saddle, plus not every ride but probably every
other time I would take him out for a conditioning ride and saddle him he
would start to freak and pull back at the trailer. I had a saddle fit guy come
out so I could find out what was wrong w/ my saddle. Come to find out the tree
is too wide.
So, I guess my question(s) are:
1. Has any gone from riding an SR Enduro to
a Freeform and do you like it?
2. I know there is a Freeform w/ the thigh roll
do many endurance riders use this one or do you prefer the model w/o the thigh
roll?
3. How comfortable secure do you feel in the
Freeform. I am used to a western type saddle, so going to an English type
might have some getting used to. I know they make a western type model but I
really don't like the looks of it.
4. Any other input anyone can give me about this
saddle good or bad would be greatly appreciated.
