Hi Len,
I
have really seen a huge improvement is my horses. Only one horse still had those irritating dry spots
but never got sore. Everyone loves it, even the colts are less broncy.
Saddle fit has always
been an issue for Rooster my 11 year old barrel horse. I broke and trained the big gelding, who got his name from the
John Wayne character "Rooster Cogburn" for his difficult and maverick behavior.
His huge shoulder blades and the sunken
area behind them always caused the saddle to slide back and roll. Before we ran, I had to cinch and re-cinch very
slowly 5 or 6 times. To keep the saddle in place I had to cinch so tightly he got white hairs around his girth.
Needless to say
he hated being saddled - he would anticipate the pull of the latigo and hang back or try to shove me out of the way with his
hind foot. He was an extremely nervous and strong headed horse and because of this his success as a barrel horse was
intermittent; he would work great one run then run by the barrels the next. His behavior and performance gradually got
worse with time.
It never even crossed my mind I had a very sore, sour horse from poor saddle fit. I always have new, clean, expensive equipment,
but the Corrector has been the best money I've ever spent. I saw a difference in his attitude and "cinchy" problem the
very first time I used it. It took about five weeks of riding with it daily to reasure and
reprogram him after years of saddle pain. He quited down so much, I kept taking his temperature to make sure he was
healthy -- he was.
Rooster
is finally running happy and winning again. He is getting more consistent with each run. I cinch him once real
tight at the trailer and he sleeps right through it and the saddle stays put. He is running harder and turning better
than he ever has and he likes his job again.
Riding and working Rooster used to be the worst part of both our days. Now riding him is fun and I get to see him progress
into the horse I always wanted him to be.
Len, thanks for the
great pad, Kelli Tolbert. Hinckley,

Dear Len, My hopes are way up! As of right now , no
dry spots or ruffled hair when I remove my saddle. I'm still trying to decide; one or two shims in front, but it is so nice
to finally sit in a level saddle. I have had a lot of back trouble myself and I might be crazy, but it seems my back
pain is alot less. I ran my little mare last weekend (first time with CorrecTOR). My husband said that was the first time
he has seen her fire and run hard to the second barrel.
Her stop is also much better, she is getting her butt down and
not stopping on her front end, which is alot easier on me. I believe as she gets more comfortable, things will get better
and better. Respectfully, Bev Hamilton ..... Loogootee, Indiana
