“Having been diagnosed
with MS a year ago, tasks which were previously straightforward, such as buying
a new horse and trotting, now present a challenge.
Although I managed a
reasonable trot when I tried my new horse, when I got him home things did not
go so well. My instructor wasn’t happy
for me to trot off the lunge as I was very unbalanced and had to hold onto a
neck strap. We tried a few different saddles
but none seemed to help my balance.
When we heard of
Solution Saddles RigidFree saddle range, we called to enquire about them. I had ridden another brand of treeless saddle
before and found it uncomfortable and very wide so we arranged to have a saddle on trial so we could test it out thoroughly.
I felt the difference immediately! I could trot, both rising and
sitting, off the lunge, and without holding on.
The change was huge. The saddle
didn’t push me and move me away from the horse, instead I moved with the horse
and I could feel the horses action more clearly. I felt balanced and
symmetrical and was able to maintain my position without being jostled around.
The saddle is very comfortable and doesn’t
feel wide.
