Re: Re: Saddles for endurance

A FYI comment:  after riding several "used" English saddles over the years,
luckily with minimal problems, I was informed by a Master Saddler that most
English saddles need to be re-flocked at least once a year (depending on
miles/hours in the saddle (of course)-1500 miles no problem for aerc riders
but may take years for others).  It was also suggested that many new saddles
should be reflocked within the 1st 4-6 months as the new flocking may compress
unevenly.  

Now finding someone to custom flock to your horse is another story...!  CS
