[RC] saddle pads and saddles - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Rachelle sdarosa@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hello, I need some info on saddle pads and saddles. What brands are good and work well? My horse gets very sore in his loin area. I ride in a wintec dressage saddle and it fits him. I use a western pad with some kind of absorbing liner in the middle of it. (forgive me I am newer at this) He has confirmation problems that bring the soreness on. I just went to a CTR ride and pulled him because of the soreness. I am doing everything I know to do to help his back in conditioning. We do hill work, and arena work in side reings and a sircingle. He does well at the rides and is an enjoyable ride so I really would like to find a way to make this work. I do think this problem is fixable with conditioning and the right gear. I have thought about the treeless saddles. I would love info on them especially if they will take pressure of this area. Thank you and I appreciate the responses I get from this board. I really feel distance riders know how to take care of there horses and I am glad this board is here to pull from.

Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS! ~ Darlene Anderson - DPD Endurance ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
