Yea, but when you sit in the saddle, the foam in the pad and saddle compress, so it is not as tight, actually can become too loose, so I overtighten to start with, too. >> I have one of those "saddle stabilizer" things, a nylon strap that goes around the opposing arm pit and attaches to the saddle,<< I lost the link to that with my last computer. Do you have the actual name, it is not under saddle stabilizer, and I can't find it on the computer anywhere. I've been practicing with the lead rope under Whisper's arm pit, and she doesn't mind it. Otherwise, I might just get a long dog leash, and get a sheepskin cover like for your shoulder strap on your seat belt to cover the area that goes under the arm pit so it will be more comfy for them. but when > you step into the stirrup it pulls their armpit > which jaspar doesnt > mind at all but Tivar acted like yiiii somethings > got a hold of me!" > so I jumped down... > Janice > > -- > yipie tie yie yo > > > "The greatest enemy of the truth very often is not > the lie- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but > the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic." > > "All truth passes through three stages. > First, it is ridiculed.
