You got me all wrong......

Sorry if I did not make my point clear. I am not trying to just sell
saddles here, I am a horse-person first. I care deeply for these beings
and think they should be respected just as much as any human. That is why
I attempted to convey something about us being in shape also. I do not
know how to word everything perfectly and sometimes say things that can be
taken harshly. I am sorry if any of my words hurt anyones feelings. I am
just committed to this type of saddle design because it is so innovated in
that it frees the horse of many sufferings. I truthfully am doing this out
of the love of horses and just wanted to share this new design with
everyone. I used to primarily ride bareback and thought many saddles were
just plain cruel. The thought of I having two pieces of wood covered with
heavy leather and cinched up across my back not allowing me to flex my
spine naturally and then something maybe 20% of my bodyweight placed on top
of that forcing me to jog over rough terrain is insane. I have been
involved in numerous hard-core animal and environmental groups and have
sacrificed a lot just to help. I am not in this for the money. I just
wanted to help spread the news about this saddle. I know it wont work for
everyone, but I felt it wasn't getting a fair shake. I had just got on
this listserve and all I saw was negative replies. I have said my piece
and again apologize if I offended anyone. All this has left a rather bad
taste in my mouth and I think I will refrain from further comments. I
think the saddle can best speak for itself, so therefore I will remove
myself from this list. Happy trails ..........Daniel
