Member Posts: 9	I really hate it when u buy a new saddle and it fits ur horse perfect but when u ride in it u feel like a retarded monkey. I bought this really nice saddle about 2 months ago and it fits my horse great but it I don't like the way I ride when I run her in it I feel all over her back and I haven't felt like that in my older saddles. I hate it bit I have a younger horse so I'll probally try it on him if it dont work out on him I'll b selling it. It just is so frustrating. I don't know if any one else has ever felt like that it makes me sick to know I have possibly wasted money on a good saddle tried it out and liked it but can't run in it on my mare...

I bought a nice reinsman and couldn't run in that thing to save my life, I felt like I was being tipped forward no matter what horse I put it on and I was constantly fighting that feeling. I had my mom video me and it wasn't noticeable but I still felt like a drunk monkey hanging on up there.

Edit to add: and another thing to is the placement of the stirrup leathers, sounds like you get your feet to far behind you. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2015-03-04 9:15 AM

That saddle is long gone and I have a Sharon Camarillo that fits both of us great
