>>>>Balance International/Carol Brett/bareback<<<<<
I can attest to what Karen says about Carol Brett. We tried the Balance saddles in 2003 for about 1 year & they didn't work for us as my horses backs widened, but I still take lessons in person from Carol 3-4 x's a year when she comes to our area. I have learned so much about saddle fit/equine biomechanics/ positively effecting the horse's movement& using my body on the horse in a biomechanically correct way. If she comes anywhere near you, go for lessons or just to audit. She teaches an awesome 1 day Feldenkrais based off horse class for riders upon request similar to what TTEAM taught years ago. I learn more each time I take this class on how to be a better balanced rider & how micro movements conscious or unconsious effect us all. In my saddle fit consulting business I refer several clients a year to Balance that require treed saddles for their higher whithered horses or if they jump a lot as wellas to RP depending on need/budget. BTW, both Balance & RP has a used re-home program where you can pick up a saddle for a lot less than new. Kaaren
