Nanwolfden postewd: >>>I just got a new saddle and when I take it
off after a ride there are 2 dry spots on my horses withers and dry down the
middle of the back. I have heard that a dry back is good and the saddle
fits properly, should it also be dry at the wither. It is a ortho-flex
with the bootie.<<<
You would have the dry area down the middle of the
back with the orthoflex and bootie, as the saddle is not covering that area, and
the air flows well through there, thus often no sweat. But dry spots at the
withers, especially if "surrounded" by wet/sweat areas would probably be
pressure points.
If the saddle was bought new from Ortho-Flex, I'd
contact them, to discuss the fit. If used, welcome to the wonderful world of
getting the perfect saddle fit......
