>>> Anyways--would the longer seat change that for me? My Trail model pommel didn't get in my way but I prefer the Dressage model. What about the Hybrid--would the bigger pommel get in the way for posting?
I need to get Falki out and put the Sensation Hybrid on him and go trot for a while. He has the easiest to get true-trot of my horses, whereas the others tend to be easy, non-suspended trots. (He also foxtrots and jogs.) My impression is, however, that I can do anything in the Hybrid that I can do with the dressage saddle. I'm heavier than you by 10-20 pounds I think. My dressage has the standard (small) seat and the Hybrid has the extended seat. To me, they sit about the same, except that the Hybrid has the bigger seat. Of course, I've never met a Sensation that I didn't like either. It's raining today so it won't happen today. Ideally, you should post as subtly as possibly, with your butt leaving the seat no longer than necessary, so we should be able to post in even a properly sized western saddle. FWIW, my tiny friend has ridden in all my Sensations, and she says she doesn't feel lost in the extended seat Hybrid. Honestly, I can't see that you lose anything with the Hybrid...but I haven't posted the trot THAT much in one either. If you wanted to show in a dressage show, I think the Hybrid wouldn't be allowed, where the dressage model would be. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
