Re: [RC] [RC] New Saddle on the market. - Ranelle Rubin

OK..good news spreads fast..they do have a website, but only the front page is on there..no pictures yet. I am sure they will post pictures soon.

http://www.athleticequine.com

To clarify things, I am a test rider for this saddle..giving them feedback, suggestions, etc.

I know Chris Martin was taking pictures of it when I picked mine up.

I can take some pictures of mine and make them available to anyone who wants them.

Nancy,

You might want to consider a new saddle just released called a Bandos.
Athletic Equine has taken the best of several treeless saddles and created a
new breed of treeless. I had been riding in a Freeform for almost two years.
I began getting rubbing at the base of my horse's withers 3 weeks before
Tevis. Chris Martin gave me his personal saddle to use on Tevis while the
shipment was on its way from Italy. It has a pommel very similar to the
Barefoot, yet the movable stirrup placement of the Freeform. Another
improvement is a much larger, firmer "plate" that the stirrups hang off of
which disperses the rider's weight a bit better, instead of concentrating it
in one place so much.

My horse has a very wide, short back, long shoulder and hip. Not much room
for a saddle. I have now ridden him about 150 miles in it. So far it is
working well. I am test riding this saddle, so I will be happy to give
updates as I go along.

It is well priced..around $600-$700.00 depending on fittings

Their toll free # is 800-511-9771
