Re: [RC] Mongolian horses//Saddles - Beverley H. Kane, MDTitle: Re: [RC] Mongolian horses//Saddles The Barefoot Treeless Saddle company is donating saddles (with presumably fenders & stirrups) for the ride. I used to ride in a Barefoot when I was catch riding; it fits almost any horse. This donation is causing great consternation on the TreelessSaddles list where, among Derby detractors, some see it as an endorsement of an evil event for nefarious business motives. It’s anyone’s guess whether the Mongolian ponies will appreciate the soft, comfortable saddles. It will feel v. different to them, but seems worth a try._______________ Beverley Kane, MD Horsensei Equine-Assisted Learning & Therapy Woodside, CA http://www.horsensei.com The Manual of Medicine and Horsemanship-- Transforming the Doctor-Patient Relationship with Equine-Assisted Learning http://www.authorhouse.com:80/BookStore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=49669 On 7/2/09 9:17 AM, "Barbara McCrary" <bigcreekranch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The traditional Mongolian saddle is extremely uncomfortable to the human body. It is made of wood and ridden over a thick pad of animal hair...goat or camel?...with stirrups short enough to cause one's knees to bend at 90 degrees.
