Anyone have any experience with switching to these
types of saddles. One of the saddles I am demo'ing is a Timberline that is
supposed to be just like the old Orthoflex saddles (same people, same factory,
different name). I have been told that some back discomfort is to
initially be expected because the horse is moving freer and using different
muscles and just to use it for a week and things will improve. But they
also want me to buy the saddle. It is absolutely the most comfortable,
easiest to balance in saddles I have ever set in but I'm not interested if
it isn't going to be comfortable for both of us. I was lent one of the
original orthoflex pads that came with orthoflex saddles to try it with but I am
leery.
Just looking at it, flex panel or not, it seems
that most of the pressure is going to come through the pedestals where the
panels attach to the saddle but the claim is the panel evenly distrubutes that
force over its surface. Is that correct? I really, really like the
saddle and want it work but how will I be able to tell if the soreness really
"worked itself out" or my poor good natured horse is just learning to live with
it?
