Saddle balancing



Well the rep came today and tweaked the flocking.

The thing is balanced in all directions but Pete took some time relaxing in it. My instructor and I agreed Pete was not as relaxed in it as in the demo. Contributing was that I was rushed for time and didn't do all the ground work or enough warm up. My instructor got on and after some work got him to relax his back.

He has some large horse fly bites near his spine. I'm wondering if that is tweaking him. Or maybe he is expecting the saddle to be not balanced though it was pretty balance d the last time I rode with certain shimming. I don't know.

I think there is enough to work with now though. It at least reminds me of the demo now. I hope it soon reminds Pete of the demo because he just loved that saddle. I bought it for him as much as for me.
