>>> Judy has been trying to draw people's attention to things like bad >>> saddlefit forever and then Stan comes along and says something and its >>> oh my GOSH a rocket scientist!! Who KNEW. but I am SO glad, because >>> maybe they will listen to him.
I have to admit, Janice, that was my first impression too, but now I'm SO glad that Stan posted those videos. It was a departure from what he'd been doing with his videos and I appreciate the effort he's putting into that site. I saw him post a link to them on a more traditional list almost a week ago I think, and I'm very disappointed - not one response, good, bad or indifferent over there. Nada. Yet, this list, where we regularly discuss saddle fit etc., in the past, we saw them, and discussed them. Thanks Stan - I assume you'll see this. And many thanks to Judy, and Robyn and my brilliant local saddle-fitter who opened her mind to alternative saddles before it was trendy and who first recommended a saddle brand for Sina that she couldn't sell when she easily could have sold me one that didn't fit as well, and folks like Rikki Schultz for her saddle-fit section in her Icelandic's book, Dana Johnsen of Nickers Saddlery, Dave Genadek of About The Horse, and Carol Brett of Balance Saddles, and to all the others who were into this saddle fit fight long before I joined in...and welcome, Stan. Thanks for introducing us to your saddle fitter. The more the merrier when it comes to looking after our horses. Karen Thomas, NC
