Location: Cocoa, Florida | I have a super quick mare who's built a little downhill, she will get on her front end also if you don't sit back and shape her into her turn, I feel like my TF treeless is throwing me forward more then usual with this mare, where others I've had I was able to sit up better in my turns. Now yes I understand a lot of the cause is the horse and I am doing lots of slow work to make her use her hind end more, she's a quick footed free runner so I'm still trying to get with her.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with a treeless? Someone told me to go back to a hard saddle? |

| Actually, your saddle throwing you forward is probably what is causing the horse to be front endy. Make sure that your saddle has a big enough seat. A saddle with a seat that is too small does not allow you to get back in the saddle and get your feet forward. The Josey saddle has forward hung stirrups and helps you getyour feet forward but again if the seat is too small you cannot get back in the saddle and it will throw you forward. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | My saddle is not to small for me, she is downhill and will dive into her turns, again I'm doing the slow work to help fix the issues, and working on my core strength but my question is, does anyone else feel like their treeless saddle throws them more forward where a treed saddle does not? Anything I can do to help stay back at this point will help us |

Location: Texas | I just sold my TF because I felt tilted forward and that my toes were pointed down. I had only ridden it since Jan but I'm going back to a treed saddle. I am having it built to fit my mare so I can't say yet that it has helped, but I could never get comfortable in my TF . It was worse just loping at home than when I ran in it, but definitely not the feel I wanted. |
