I know I've seen this topic talked about on here before but cannot find it! I have NEVER had back problems and now my back seems to be a disaster. I could NOT figure out what was causing it and then I got to thinking, I ordered a new BM and when I started using it, the back pain started. I have 2 other BM'S that I ride in as well and a double j and have NEVER had problems. Anyone else had this issue? I can't decide if it just needs broke in or what but hate to sell because I ordered it brand new this spring!
I had back pain with the JBN by Circle Y … once it was so bad that when I got off my horse, I was afraid to sit down because I didn't think I'd be able to get back up. I was also afraid to drive home. I got super sore. I was also having problems with the Sibley. I have a Tammy Fisher .. no problems there. I have no idea what the issue was … someone mentioned perhaps my saddle pad was too thin.

I would think the back problem comes from how your legs are placed. The BM's put your feet in back of your hip. The Deb Sibley's have adjustable fenders so you should be able to set it where it's comfortable fo you. The Tammy Fischer places your feet in front of you which is usually the most comfortable spot for someone with back pain. Just my observation from riding in all three.
