Twenty seven years ago Len & recently some others have tried to fix the problems with stirrup design but the results are were & are very limited. Where these stirrup LOOPS provide fantastic results for most Riders, there are times that Len recommends the regular loops he makes to keep a Rider from being too legs under. That is where his 35 years of experience in fitting thousands of Riders with saddles is so valuable. The ease of riding legs under with these loops is unmatched in English saddles and any other Western saddle available. ONCE EXPERIENCED, YOU WILL WONDER WHY HASN'T ANYONE EVER DONE THIS BEFORE NOW ? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1592625232623-K2JNHXM7FQRBG3EO96SL/JenniferRiggsPerfectWadeCan.jpg WESTERN DRESSAGE The PERFECT WADE here is being ridden for the 1st time.

First, stand back and take a fresh look at your horse's general appearance. As your eyes pass over his body, note these factors: 1. Do the muscles in the top loin (gluteals) look especially tense (some would call them well-developed) so that they stand out dramatically? 2. Does the muscle which extends from the poll to the point of the shoulder down the lower side of the neck (brachiocephalicus) look thicker and more developed than the upper half of the neck, resulting in an almost ewe-necked appearance? This is caused by the horse's travelling with a hollow back which forces him to fling out his fordlegs to maintain his balance, overworking the brachiocephalicus, or in Latin, "Levator Humeri" / to elevate the Humerus. The brachiocephalicus lifts that Humerus starting extension of the foreleg. It becomes overworked and contracted or in spasm due to repeated pinching of the trapezius muscle at the wither or a rider that's too far forward, both causing the horse to attempt to rebalance his body by head & neck up and overworking the Hamstrings & Gluteals + the neck muscle & many others. 3. Look for a hollow behind the shoulder on either side of the horse, (left). Muscle in this region tends to diminish or atrophy when the nerves and muscles are pinched repeatedly. One almost never finds this trait in the young, unridden horse. 4. Does your horse have a "dropped" back when standing undisturbed in the stall or pasture? Lordosis is most often a result of extended, saddle induced, back pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1592859450298-UAGQ15AW2O1FYZSF9IKV/webopensore622.jpg Saddling for the 21st Century: Palpating the Saddlesore horse! - 3. Probe For Telltale Soreness In The Checkpoint Muscles. Three important muscles can let you know instantly if your horse is suffering pain due to his saddle even if there is no pathology visible on the back. The horse that is hurting responds to the pain by tensing the muscles that are overworked or damaged. This contraction works it's way to related muscles that work with and against each other from one end of the horse to the other. The Result is "COMPENSATORY MUSCLE SORENESS". When the Longissimus muscles of the back are tight from pain in the wither- shoulder area, the loins or center of the back, the back is dorsiflexed (contracted) This places extra work on the rest of his body which one might never believe could be sore from the saddle. We'll start with the Levator Humeri (latin for elevate humerus) or Brachiocephalicus in your modern anatomy books. To lighten the forehand the uses his hamstrings, gluteals, and Longissimus Dorsi. When the later 2 aren't doing their job, the others have to work extra hard. The Gluetals quickly fatigue from a rider heavy on the forehand or when the Longissimus is contracted. At that time, the Levator Humeri have to overwork to start extension of the forelegs. The head and neck go up to giving more leverage to the neck muscles to quicken extension of the forelegs. Other muscles are over worked at the same time. The Latissimus Dorsi helps move the shoulder & often is damaged directly by the saddle & or girth. the Trapezius gets directly damaged from the tree bars squeezing in on them from one or both sides. The Rhomboideus works to lift the shoulder up & forward and is directly opposite the Trapezius. All of these muscles are overworked & often go into contraction along with the 4 Triceps on each shoulder. It goes from there to the Deep Digital Flexor muscle that wraps around the Ulna (elbow) where it works with and against the lower Tricep connected to that ulna from above. That's when intermittent lower leg (suspensory) lameness starts from saddle pain. The Deep Digital flexor muscle gives most of the travel to the Tendon attached to it; which is the support cable for the foreleg of the horse. The muscle & tendon working with the Pastern & Fetlock is also the "shock absorption system" for the front leg. Does your horse have a rough and choppy Trot? Are you starting to get the picture? A tendon is not a rubber band but gets 90% of it's travel from the Muscle that it's attached with. When you lose shock absorption from the Fetlock dropping, you overload bone Periosteum & Tendon sheath surfaces in the lower leg. The next most critical overload is at the Navicular bone where the Deep Digital Tendon continues it's journey to it's attachment at the Coffin bone of the hoof. Without a loose shoulder and Fetlock dropping with a loose pastern for shock absorption the Navicular bone is overloaded as well as the tendon. Slowly damaged and deteriorating, hence a condition called "Navicular". NOT a disease but a Condition. Shoeing too long at the toe and low at the heel are contributing factors as is allowing the frog to hit the ground as Barefoot or flat close shoeing can do in many horses. The first of 4 muscles to palpate for soreness is the semimembranosus (on either side of the tail in the hindquarters.) 1.5" out from the base or the tail, push hard and move your thumb back & forth to find what feels like a cable. There you will get the natural reaction of tuckin of the hindquarters. A sore reaction is to bounce the hindquarter & show obvious discomfort. This is most often "Compensatory Muscle soreness" from a overworked hindquarter and a sore back. A really sore horse will kick out so be careful here. The only way you can get the necessary pressure to check this muscle is from behind using your weight. I once palpated a young stallion at the University of Florida's Vet school, so sore if touched here he would Kick out with both hind legs at once. I was flown there to do a full days clinic with students and staff. After I did deep pressure therapy down this horse's near side I was holding one hindquarter and pushing with my hand doing a finishing massage on the Semimembranosis with much pressure. I was curious as to why students and the public started laughing. I stopped and asked them what's so funny. They pointed, I stepped back and looked to see this formerly violent American Show horse stallion had dropped and had been slapping his stomach side to side. As I told them when I first palpated this horse: "Inside this horse is a sweet pasture pet, just waiting to get out" After doing that deep pressure therapy, the head Veterinary professor never challanged my evaluation of any of the other horses. The second muscle that tells the most is the brachiosephalicus (following the lower half of the neck from poll to humerus,). To start massage on any horse you start here at the back of the poll. A sore reaction here is to toss the head or jerk it away. The stallion mentioned above would bite or rear a little. This muscle at this point: is where you make your one on one connection to the animal's mind. Once established you can go to the lower attachment under the point of the shoulder, at the base of the neck. A more dramatic flinching from pain takes place here. This attachment gets sore in most performance horses even with good saddling. The stallion above would rear & strike out when palpated at this point. I overcame this scared and defensive horse with a gentle touch and starting with his mind at the poll. When finished with really effective deep pressure massage on most horses, you'll find they will follow you around for awhile with the lead rope tossed up over their back acting like they've found a new pasture mate. PS> I'm not talking about the "Touch of Love" here. It takes muscle and is as much physical work as shoeing a horse. The massage schools take money to teach the touch of love, (as I call it.) Nothing wrong with it but don't expect dramatic long lasting results! Now to check the TRICEP at the elbow. This one is quick & easy. No natural reaction here to palpating here. If the horse flinches at all here he has had a pressure problem at the withers for some time. The more severe the hores's reaction the more likely this horse will have intermittent suspensory lameness after working. When you check the trapezius on one of these horses, it will have been sore & damaged long term. The fourth place I will take you is to the shoulders themselves & the attachment of muscles to the Cartilage of Prolongation. This is the place of damage Most Chiropractors & vets totally miss when trying to diagnose saddling problems. A Vet that barrel races & her staff of Chiropractor & equine body worker couln't find any soreness in her horse. After working on this horse for over a year & a layoff from racing of 9 months, for the Vet to have a baby, no soreness. The horse continually dropped when going around a barrel to the right. So bad the rider had a hard time staying in the saddle. She came to me at The BBR world championships in OK City, Okla. getting ready to compete. She told me the story and asked if I would check her horse. I did and after going around the horse palpating as described above & seeing little discomfort, I did the following. I picked up the right foreleg and held it up at the knee. I then reached back and palpated the shoulder with 3 fingers quite deeply. Kneading the muscle I found a horse with reasonable soreness from the tree bar. (There always is discomfort here in a horse if it's been ridden much.) I told the vet her horse would be very sore on the right side. This was a left lead horse. When doing the same to the right shoulder, the horse flinched muscles throughout the shoulder. She tried to pull her leg away from me and there was no doubt how sore this horse was on the side she dropped her weight on when in that left lead. You see, the saddle was dropping to that side & the front of the bar drives deeply into the Trapezius muscle attaching to the Cartilage of Prolongation. The Lady Vet was amazed that this horse was still sore there with little riding for 9 months and her staff taking care of the horse. THERE IS NO NATURAL REACTION TO PALPATING HERE WHEN THE LEG IS EXTENDED. Massage will help a little but the horse's own stretching of the damaged muscle attachments, without the pressure in this spot, will do more than any therapy. Now do you see the need for a ProTecTOR PAD under every saddle? What I did for this horse was to put on the Protector pad using 2 balance shims on the right front only. The saddle was made Custom for this horse by Stanley Allen of Allen Ranch. (It was old style saddle making with straighter bars and I told her it was as good as she could get.) The Vet went to the practice ring & couldn't believe her horse didn't drop but a little on the first right barrel. Next run she never dropped at all. That's one owner you can contact in Bixby, if you're a barrel racer in OK. Muscles under the saddle can also be palpated, but above are the main ones to find the long term effects of saddling & or riding to your horse. For under saddle you need to probe these muscles firmly with the ends of three fingers or your thumb held stiff from your fist. Remember that the force of the bite or kick your horse is likely to receive in the herd environment is far greater than any force you could possibly exert by using your fingers. You will not injure your horse in any way by this probing, but you may discover that your horse's withers flinch as to remove a fly. Count to 3, it should have stopped at 2. To continue holding that pressure tells the story. If your horse steps away showing discomfort, he's obviously sore. Most novices probe too softly to illicit a reaction from their horse and are left with the impression their horse is not sore. TTEAM therapy instructor, Linda Tellington Jones, once told me that one must probe as firm as necessary to get a reaction to see if the horse is sore. I had asked because of people thinking I was palpating too hard and every horse would respond the same. They did back then because they were very sore endurance horses. I will explain the effects of saddling to the rest of the horse and the vetebral column next.

Four Physical Traits Common to the Sore-Backed Horse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598378668577-ZI5U0OXRCU1V4HPWC6X0/web_gluteals.jpg Palpating the Saddlesore Horse First, stand back and take a fresh look at your horse's general appearance. As your eyes pass over his body, note these factors: 1. Do the muscles in the top loin (gluteals) look especially tense (some would call them well-developed) so that they stand out dramatically? 2. Does the muscle which extends from the poll to the point of the shoulder down the lower side of the neck (brachiocephalicus) look thicker and more developed than the upper half of the neck, resulting in an almost ewe-necked appearance? This is caused by the horse's travelling with a hollow back which forces him to fling out his fordlegs to maintain his balance, overworking the brachiocephalicus, or in Latin, "Levator Humeri" / to elevate the Humerus. The brachiocephalicus lifts that Humerus starting extension of the foreleg. It becomes overworked and contractied or in spasm due to repeated pinching of the trapzius muscle at the wither or a rider that's too far forward, both causing the horse to attempt to rebalance his body by head & neck up and overworking the Hamstrings & Gluteals + the neck muscle & many others. 3. Look for a hollow behind the shoulder on either side of the horse, (left). Muscle in this region tends to diminish or atrophy when the nerves and muscles are pinched repeatedly. One almost never finds this trait in the young, unridden horse. 4. Does your horse have a "dropped" back when standing undisturbed in the stall or pasture? Lordosis is most often a result of extended, saddle induced, back pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598378717830-T5BOEH4O84WGX5M8RS1F/webshoulder_dip.jpg Palpating the Saddlesore Horse - How to evaluate your horse for saddle related soreness, the length of time it's been there and how severe the damage is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598378791532-9KIA5A1UZR42E3DYK5E2/webcheckpoints.jpg Palpating the Saddlesore Horse - 3 Checkpoint Muscles Your Horse's Reaction--What's Normal and What's Not. Extreme contraction of muscles is not normal and should never be attributed to a high-strung temperament or so-called sensitivity. When probed, the muscles hould be flacid and should produce no more reaction in the horse than a wary expression on the face or fidgeting. Fidgeting should discontinue as soon as the horse realizes you are not going to hurt him https://www.thecorrector.net/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379783124-FEQ64GVPFY43EKX30HL5/tigerbetter.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598380375510-U8PFZ3T6GI4CNBVJ6XV9/jasminebabe.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598380438888-42TLBKDC0GMXRSEU7ICS/barrypamwebhappycustomer.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598380623816-IPPRY38DQQQQNI5F95GA/kathyrondellweb-1.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598381010136-5AX255675PI9E0MHXPP8/garretconnemaraweb014.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598381053794-DMYJHPST3SDLUKD9KJIW/portersaddleweb-044+%281%29.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598381198156-208PYCGNREL7SWCP8R80/fiesta2005peter-web.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598410060543-C5YRYF3BXE2J8FL0IC39/dianeuljumpingweb+%281%29.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379441703-319ORZUEH953ONTRCTZD/CaballosConDiosWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379441609-QVBDZATY308YXTOKJVTB/CareyMiller2WEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379441806-Q44EKUF3TEYLLC0F1QYH/BrianHaraWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379441995-K40U8TTD9FO5VO1ZUQ2S/BillLeslieWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379442224-6ZQ13OPG6PUVUJZM68QT/BLowesWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379442979-KHH5ONJIT3X5YWGFIXGF/BethFieldWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379443152-T1EQK8AQT4ZSTGN6SA4A/BerniePeterWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379442643-V4SN406LJP51CKBI9QJR/BaileyKunzWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379442930-LI8GG1VA0PRBATGCRB9S/AthenahWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379443953-JZVW1XGUIUXP0BBGX7UJ/alphamareWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379444103-70PY7SPU32CGCDRPPAJM/BillDorothyPetryWEB.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598379444478-41SGI1RE0FYC6LAMKIXY/AlixNash.jpg Testimonials https://www.thecorrector.net/whats-wrong-with-english-saddles-amp-circle-y-flex-trees daily 0.75 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384431522-GEEAXT8YNK7FQDQC6EDS/CircleYtreeOnMold.WEB.+%281%29.jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384431071-D17NOX3AR6YU0YUPGAUZ/CircleYFlexSkirtsStrapBUMP..jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384431262-8MIAVFNZPQ7HJRB7EJG0/CircleYFlexTreeBOTTOM.WEB..jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384431009-2L83I8V08XO3T51T8PSI/CircleYFlex2TreeWEB_BEND010.jpg.w300h225.jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384513790-33LRS3MOZIQJEY2XAXMS/CircleYFlexTreeBOTTOM.WEB..jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598384540707-V431JH2WHW4Q7RIAT3AU/CircleYFlex2_DEEringWEB.jpg.w300h225+%281%29.jpg WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH SADDLES & AMP; CIRCLE -Y FLEX TREES? https://www.thecorrector.net/diary-of-happy-horses-and-riders daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://www.thecorrector.net/trail-riding-mistakes daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598385063773-85LYXJEU0VWOFOKX9B56/webecutback_greybeard.jpg Trail Riding Mistakes Riding a comfortable horse at a walk is the biggest problem in trail riding. Nothing in the Natural horsemanship Clinicians manual prepares you for "how to ride the comfortable horse". In fact I've dealt with sore horses from riders that had just finished their education with John Lyons, Pat Parelli, Larry Whitesell, and others. These riders were taught release training, natural horsemanship, bitless bridles, and barefoot trim. Just reward the horse and let him be comfortable on a loose rein. Most of these riders were using my saddle or Protector pad. Regular saddles like Clinicians use seldom have a horse doing the loose walk of a comfortable horse. If these clinicians have ever ridden a comfortable horse on a long trail ride they wouldn't teach the way they do. Here's what happens to the comfortable horse at a walk: they work no harder than necessary and the larger the horse the bigger the problem. Gaited have a greater problem at a walk than most non-gaited horses. The LOOSE RELAXED WALK is called "THE DOG WALK" by TN. Walking horse trainers. With a loose walk the horse can push a saddle front to rear as much as 2.5 in. at a walk. THIS INITIALLY CAUSES AN ITCHY REACTION, LATER THE MID BACK AND LOIN ARE SO SORE THEY DROP AT BEING TOUCHED. The side to side movement is also there in the low withered horse. That causes fluid under the skin & white hair over a large area right where the saddle catches further movement. The normal horse and saddle have a degree of discomfort that puts the horse on the bit. The rider has to check him for control and is paying attention to the horse and has the horse's attention at the same time. FOR 100'S OF YEARS THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN AS RIDING THE HORSE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO JUST THAT; RIDE YOUR HORSE, NOT LET YOUR HORSE "TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE". Most horse training over the ages has been based on how to over come the discomfort of the saddle while riding the horse. Now that the horse can be comfortable when ridden a lot of things have to change. Subtle natural AIDS are all that's needed to control and communicate with your horse. I see many FEI level Dressage riders that look like they are kick starting a Harley. Since the introduction of the OrthoFlex saddles I made and then the Corrector pad, now the Protector Pad and my new line of saddles, comfortable horses are more abundant on the trail. You as riders need to give your horse some heel, let him know you are watching him. Keep contact with the reins and make him step out with shorter steps and stay at attention to you at all time. It is nothing more than John Lyon's Mantra " keep your horse’s attention at all times." https://www.thecorrector.net/mule-riders-welcomed-here daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598407430302-2MMWXQXRNVUAZW5BKCW0/BORNtheMULEsaddleSOLOrightW.jpg MULE RIDERS WELCOMED HERE - A VERSION FOR THE AVERAGE ROUND BACKED MULES IS COMING NEXT, One major saddling problem is the A shaped back of many MULES & TN Walking horses as well. Few saddles have the full open channel & clearance needed like my Mule Bar BLACK MESA saddles. So to keep your saddle off the spine I've designed this PROTECTOR pad. THICK PADS USUALLY PINCH when folded in front. With the three strips of ELASTIC WEBBING holding this one together in front PINCH IS STOPPED. At the rear is a TAB of heavy leather across the top of the UPPER PROTECTOR PAD. THE opening between is 17" long & 3.5 inches wide. IF CUT OPEN IN THE FLAT, then when put on the MULE the open channel WILL CLOSE somewhat. I hand skive THE CHANNEL AS THE PAD IS FOLDED AT 45 degrees. THIS LEAVES A FULL OPEN CHANNEL to stop pinch ALONG the edges of the SPINE. So far the MULE man with a 16H GAITED young MULE has had good results with this SPINE RELIEF PROTECTOR PAD. Even though his NEW MULE saddle has an open channel down the middle, the skirts AT THE REAR WERE NOT OPEN. I HAD HIM TAKE A CARPET BLADE TO THEM & CUT AN OPEN CHANNEL ALL THE WAY BACK. HIS MULE'S SPINE LOOKS LIKE WITHER ALL THE WAY BACK. I'll keep you posted on the end results as he rides & chases hounds on a regular basis.

A girth that really works without biting into the horse on the front edge. It's thinner than my old Ortho-Flex Softsides girth. It has more body and retains it's shape (that of a horse) much better than the O/F Softsides Neoprene & Leather ever did. Some of the many improvements are as follows: the outer layer is natural Saddle Skirting leather, then a core of Aircraft Interior plastic molded to a HORSE SHAPE, flare and all, after that it has an inner layer of top grain LATIGO Leather against the horse. Seatbelt webbing runs from one end of the cinch to the other holding the buckles to keep you on your horse. The Cinch is then sewn with heavy nylon thread laid into a grooved cut in the Latigo leather for a smooth finish against the horse. Then we hand cut and finish the edges. The horse is protected from the pressure of buckles and bumps of straps over them. Your saddle feels GLUED to your horse with the Never-Tight XXXX Cinch. It is easy to wipe clean and lasts a long time with a little care given to any leather tack. Since it doesn't bite on the front edge, like other flat strap girths, your horse can bend, turn, & stop without pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598408976940-015XRTJMCWD5ISE1FZHG/NeverTightFlare156WEB..jpg THE NEVER TIGHT CRUPPER & Cinchs - NEVER~TIGHT CINCH HOLDS SADDLE+ PROTECT ANIMAL MY WADE SADDLE, PROTECTOR PAD+ CINCH, UN-EQUALED... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/1598409033611-MOGR8ZHL7B45SBIVRELK/JeffsMuleNearTightLooseWEB..jpg THE NEVER TIGHT CRUPPER & Cinchs - The NEAR*TIGHT CINCH HOLDING THE MORK WADE & JEFF!

What you think and feel, your horse does simultaneously! This is the thrill of DRESSAGE RIDING at it's best. A world where Less is More! But sometimes more is too much for your horse: training, stress, pain from the saddle and all of the above. Think of your horse as a radio & you as the broadcaster. A little bit of pain over a long period of time can build up to suddenly block his reception. You then start searching! The bit? The teeth?The shoes? The pad? Your seat & lack of skill? & Last / The saddle? Then the search becomes EXPENSIVE. An industry thrives because of your searching for a fix to your beloved animal's problems. What would the big Companies and Retailers do if you no longer needed a Fix! Would they sell or promote something for $379.00 that ended your continual searching? Only in the HORSE WORLD would a market survive in this manner! A Reining Horse professional and largest Bob's Saddle retailer looked at The Corrector and said "Damn you Len Brown, I was afraid you would come up with something like this, you know this could ruin my business!" He then promptly bought one for his wife a horse trainer and Equine Physiotherapist! One week later, he called and ordered the std. size for himself. These were bought at my reg. price because the last thing this man wants to do is sell the CorrecTOR!

They follow his movement thru the; bending,raising and lowering, of his back. Relief slots are engineered to buffer the pressures of Impingement to Movement created by all saddles. This prevents interference with the shoulders and keeps the saddle in the correct position. No Damaging Pressures at the withers & loins! You get close contact, natural movement and a more stable saddle even in the downhill. Call Len @ 816 625 0333 The New Moneyback Guarantee for US customers in the USA: Follow your 1 page of balance shim instructions and ride your ProTecTOR for up to 30 days. If you're not impressed with what the ProTecTOR has done for your horse or mule, get on the phone to Len, explain and get a return Authorization Number. Put it on the outside of the original box, pay for shipping and you will received a refund the retail price you paid for the ProTecTOR, less a 20% restocking fee. The few times I get a ProTecTOR returned, it usually hasn't been ridden enough for the customer to know if it is working or not. Do both of us a favor> ride it good & hard. I doesn't work if you don't ride it. Thanks, Len https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecadfac782c903df8c6ae13/22666abd-25c2-4707-aa70-c7552161a43f/32InchRoperPROTECTOR.53WEB..jpg The Protector Western - STOP...SPENDING THOUSANDS! I designed the corrector to overcome~ basic inadequacies found in most all saddles. In 95`&96`over 500 top ROPERS and REINERS paid $1,000 apiece to have the O/Flex System put in their saddles. Though it worked well for the horse, most riders couldn't get used to:..... The feeling of being up "off" the horse. Having to girth extra tight! The Rebound of the panel system. (bounce) How many shims to put behind the shoulders! The loss of CONTACT & FEEL to their horse! Now for only the cost of a quality pad you can get a far advanced system that; makes any saddle work for your horse or any other horse, frees up the shoulders and restores natural movement and gives you closer contact! It also positions your saddle properly every time, regardless of the horse. STOP...SPENDING THOUSANDS!
