Len,
Sorry for the time lag, been somewhat hectic.
The pad works great. I used it on my daughter's POA who is a little narrow for the Fallis
Balanced Ride saddle she uses. Conventional Pads had simply made the saddle wobbly. The Corrector nicely improved the fit
in the proper areas and she uses a single layered wool navajo over the Corrector. Immediate improvement in way of going and
attitude. Nice response without having to invest in a new saddle for the POA.
I have also used
it on two fairly flat withered Arabians that are very muscular over their backs. Saddles had a tendency to creep forward.
Had one saddle re-rigged to a 7/8 rig, that helped but didn't solve the issue. Have saddled both and worked them using
the Corrector and a single or thin double wool pad. Saddles never moved. Horses both moved more freely and didn't have to
cut them in half with the cinch to keep the saddle in place.
Gave your phone number as a contact
at a recent Veterinary meeting where I was demonstrating some Horse Handling Techniques and suggested they look into this
for clients who were having saddle fitting problems. Didn't think you would mind. You may have received some phone calls from
Illinois.
May be worthwhile to check into the
Veterinary referral market as it seems a lot of horse owners are having saddle fit questions. Their vet checks the horse but
many aren't sure where to go to correct the problem without buying a new saddle. Regards, Dean Scoggins
