For sale: Sensation Hybrid Saddle, black with suede knee and thigh rolls, regular seat. Very good condition, used for a year, recently had new seat, Stirrup...
Karen, Our local tack store sells velcro straps that wrap around your upper thigh, and the other attaches to the saddle, so you can kind of velcro yourself...
Hi All, I am selling my much beloved bob marshall endurance saddle. I keep putting it off cuz I LOVE this saddle but unfortunately my hip dissagrees! I can...
Hi! Will be glad to send the pictures but will have to wait till I get back! I'm not computer/camera talentd! (huge understatement) And getting e-mailable...
I recently purchased a BMSS, with the rounded skirt for my Haflinger. It's a little too long, but not terribly. I love the saddle, but I am now noticing some...
No problem Penny, The saddle would be a tad big for me but would rather have a tad to big than a tad to small....I have 3 BMSS and dont NEED a 4th...but dont...
Hi Sue, Try switching to a pad with a wool fleece bottom, Skito will be the best match with the BMSS. Sometimes felt can do this if things are a little too...
Hi I am new to this group - and this is the reason I joined! Saddle Pads! I have a 5yr old Shire and am using a Barefoot Nevada saddle which up until now I...
I have ridden in my BMSS for 6 years using a Skito fleece woolbacked pad made for this model, and a breastcollar. I also use a very thin rubber pad in between...
HI Sue, Ditto the advice to use a wool fleece pad! I have the same problem with my gelding regardless of what saddle I use on him. I have to use a plush...
Will do! I actually could get by with a 15" seat but I like the extra room. Got used to riding in a bigger seat when we were trying to "conserve" and...
Rubs like this are very common when the horses change coat in spring and autumn. If you don't want to invest in a new pad you can use some 'showsheen' under...
Obviously he doesn't like "something". I tried a treed saddle on him yesterday and had none of the "saddling dance" (I opted not to ride because I knew there...
Jeanne - It's hard to know why, but there's something about it that bugs him. That's clear. I tried 4 different treeless makes before I found one that my horse...
Has he always had a problem with Barefoot Tahoe or just lately? How long have you owned the saddle now? If 'i remember correctly it has been around a ...
Hi Jeanne, Have you done a string test to make sure that he has adequate spine clearance all the way back under the saddle (just because it's there at the...
Thanks for your responses. I will check into getting the Skitto pad that you sugggested.  This is a great group. I read most of the posts as they relate...
I like the look of the G4 girthing on the sensation saddles, but what is the advantage of it over the G3 girthing, apart from being able to move the buckle on...
I love the G4 girthing on the Western Sensation. Personally I would prefer the G3 system for the G4 dressage saddle, as for me it is easier to use the hard...
Thank you! :) I have asked about trialing the g4 dressage but it is out on trial at the moment, so that is on my to do list. I have been using the endurance...
I have decided to sell my HM SBS. It is the completely treeless version she made before the Fheonix. I am asking $1600.00. It is black, fits me like my other...
It sounds more like rib and wither issues-try my yoga stretches for horses-www.HolisticHorseWorks.com if your horse keeps pulling back and does not want to...
... Since the horse is fine with a different saddle IMO it's more likely a problem with that particular setup rather than a body issue. A lot of stuff can be...
Hi, I'm new to the group and would appreciate comments about any experiences with treeless saddles on Peruvian Pasos. My riding is mostly trails but my wife &...
I'd go along with April's hunch. He may need bodywork and if that is so, no change of gear makes much of a difference until the underlying issue ( i.e. muscle...
Bravo Scott to you and your wife for trying LD on your Peruvians! I rode LD and endurance on my gaiteds, (3 Peruvian Pasos and a KMSH). Bet you'll love it as...
... To me it makes the most sense to start with the simple and obvious (not to mention free :), and work up from there. I'm not in any way against bodywork,...
