[RC] Reactor panel Saddles - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Barbara jgmiddleton@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Hello everyone.  I've been looking at the RP saddles and I'm having a hard time 
deciding which model would work best for my body type.  I usually use a l7 1/2" 
seat and measurments sent of my horse to Carmi at RP determined that I needed a 
l3" tree or close.  I just tried a very slightly used lovely Endurance model in 
l7 1/2" seat but found that I couldn't reach the knee rolls and the seat felt 
quite big.  I am 5'2", 145 lbs. with a full hip, thigh and bottom.  My legs are 
proportionate to my body which means that they are quite short from hip to 
knee.  Was considering the Cross Functional but the knee rolls look a bit too 
forward for my knees to contact them.

So, was hoping anyone out there who uses the RP saddles would be able to give 
me some advice.  Might I need to go to a l7" if the Endurance Model felt too 
large or maybe that is just the way the Endurance model is made and the VSD 
models would be ok in 17 1/2"?  I'm looking at the VSD Summit, Traditional, and 
Baker Trail.  Anyone ride in any of these and how do you like the leg channels 
compared to the Traditional knee rolls.

I'm hoping to get a used RP so I don't want to demo saddles from Carmi.  Thanks 
for any advice you can pass along to me.
Barbara
