>>>> I actually feel better riding bareback, I can feel the horse much better, feel it right away if something is going wrong. I tried my new improved sheep fleece bareback pad out on Dari, we did a little walk up and down the driveway, he did fine, I've tried it on Celie a little too. I think it is very nicely padded now.
What kind of fleece bareback pad do you have? BTW, I took the demo Phantom bareback pad for my trusted local saddler to have a look at - she's always been pretty forward thinking about bareback pads, treeless saddles, etc, even though they make and sell custom western saddles. She didn't see anything wrong with it initially, just pointed out a couple of things to watch for as I ride it this weekend. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
