Today I got to meet Len Brown at an Orthoflex clinic here in AZ. I found
Len to be very pleasant and informative. I have some saddle questions.
There are two styles I am interested in, one is the Patriot and the other is
the Endurance Cut Back. Do any of you use these types and if so what did
you think about them? The Patriot really reminded me of an Australian
saddle, it felt very comfy but I noticed a 17" seat on a Patriot felt almost
the same size as my 15" Big Horn? Do the seats run smaller? Do they
measure the styles differently? I also liked the Cut Back but didn't get to
see one so does anyone use a Cut Back?

I would like some feedback on where the stirrups hang on these styles and
also on a comment Len made. He basically said that you almost always should
use a crupper on a trail or distance horse. What do you all think of that?

Next question I have is does anyone have the book called, "Beating Muscle
Injuries"? I was wondering if the book had enough illustrations to show
where to massage and do pressure point work? Len made comments about this
book a few times and I was thinking on purchasing one.

Thanks all and please note once again ANOTHER NEW EMAIL ADDRESS:}
