When I started Jim I used the bareback pad, mainly because he was so wide nothing went anywhere near him. He was like a table, flat topped with legs one at each corner.
For the past few months Ive been alternating between the freemax and the barefoot dressage. Mainly I use the freemax for general hacking, and some schooling, especially when we work outside, while he's been adding the zip!
I used the barefoot yesterday for our lesson, and thought it was much better for schooling in, plus Jayne rode him for half the lesson, and she loved the saddle, she said the way he went was much better,more uphill than the last time she rode him, [ monday in the freemax.]
He goes really well in it, so much so my trainer has suggested I only use the barefoot in future.
Perhaps ive got used to having lots of saddles that I can pick and choose from in the past, but it might be time now to get rid of those im not going to use and stick to one.
How many people use more than one saddle regularly.
