I was wondering if anybody out there has had poleys added to their
endurance saddles? Particularly, a Desoto? Marilyn (from Desoto
Saddles) is now adding poleys if requested. She said I can ship my
saddle back to her and she can add them and have it back to me rather
quickly. It sounds like a great idea to me (I have a gelding that does
the drop-and-spin thing) and she has sent me pictures of some saddles
she has added them to and they look pretty sturdy and nicely done.
I'm just leery of altering my saddle and I'm afraid of not liking
something in front of my leg when I'm not used to it. My saddle is
super-comfy as-is, but the added security of poleys sure is temtping
for those unexpected spins.
If anybody has had them added, please let me know if you liked them or
not, and if it was hard to get used to. I think I might feel kind of
trapped with something in front of my thigh all the time....?
