Boy, I don't know if I dare bring this up, but noted that some people don't
like the idea of a saddle with no panels to distribute weight. Just a
thought...I have tried so many conventional saddles whose panels, no matter
how well fitted, dug, in some way, into shoulders or loins and inhibited
movement. Sometimes I think panels, though distribute weight, have their
own problems. For years Indians rode bareback with little to protect their
horse's backs...were their horses always sore in the back? Does anyone
know?
BTW Diane, I too thank you for the hard work you are putting in on saddle
info. Your database that compiles riders (not yours) thoughts and
experiences with different saddles will be a great source for those who are
in the market.
