[RC] Gaited horses and saddles - sandy . l . holderI just received the proof of Jackie's 20 Mule Team ride. Geez I thought Majiq was large. . . and then I saw the picture! He's REALLY HUGE!!! Thanks again Bruce for letting me ride your gentle giant! I still remember showing up at 5:15 a.m. the morning of the ride and Bruce Burnham asking about my saddle (a FreeForm). 100 miles in 1 day on a large, strong backed horse and I'm putting the saddle on that fits my short coupled, barely over pony size boy (as well as Tally - my 'no saddle ever fit me before' horse). Rode him all day, all night until somewhere about 4 a.m. Took the saddle off at the end to put the blanket on. . . no tenderness at all. Only issue was a bit of a girth rub but no issues from having my fat butt and a saddle he'd never had on before for a 100 miles (did I mention 22 hours?!). I heard about FreeForm word of mouth (Michele Rouch) and have passed it along to a few friends who now also have them. If I can put this saddle on practically any horse, including one I only just met, and do a 100 miler on him with no soreness to his back, the saddle is definitely a keeper. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth into the discussion (gaited horses and saddles) See ya, Sandy _________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
