[RC] re: saddle twist - David BennettI have been told by several female friends who tried my O-F Stitchdown that they hated it because it was so uncomfortable. I could not understand this because it has a very cushy stitchdown seat that is quite comfortable to me. I've never had a problem with it fitting me or my horses. However, this saddle is high and very narrow at the front with a deep gullet. So, it must not fit female structure very well because of its being so narrow. I would like it to fit closer to my horse and not have me feeling like I am riding high up off his back - but that is a different issue.

Too narrow a twist will cause severe and painful rubbing in the crotch, but a slightly wider twist will allow the pressure to be on the outside points of the pelvis. I guess each person has his own anatomical issues. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
