Re: [RC] CAIR panels - Chris Paus

All I know is I had the worst back problems on Star
we've ever had when I used a Wintec with CAIR. It
APPEARED to fit him perfectly. We got great sweat
patterns. But he made ugly faces when I girthed him
up, he sidestepped and avoided me getting on him. I
rode him in one 25 mile CTR with it and he had a
terrible case of back scald when we completed the
ride. I had to give him 6 weeks off to heal up.

I think you're right. When I rode in teh saddle it
FELT like riding on basketballs.

Traditional wool flocking for me please.

This question is for a 
friend of mine from my barn who is having saddle
issues with her Bates 
saddle. The chiro says that the CAIR panels are like
basketballs and are 
too hard on the horse's back. She says that every
horse that she has seen 
that uses these saddles have had chronic back
problems. My saddle, also 
with CAIR, a wintec, seems to be less hard than hers
so she thought maybe I 
could ask around as she hasn't been able to find out
any information by 
just searching the web. She's a dressage rider and
quite honestly, most of 
the girls at my barn thought my saddle odyssey a bit
amusing until the 
chiro showed them problems that they are having with
their own horses 
regarding saddle fit.
