Location: Somewhere around here		The full position, 7/8, 3/4, or 5/8? I've always gone with 7/8 to 3/4 but lately I'm seeing more saddles with the full position. Anyone ride with a full position rigging? How is it different than the others?
If no one knows what I'm talking about here's a reference site. http://saddlemakers.org/id193.htm#rigging_position_1

Location: The Great Northwest		It will depend on how the saddle fits the horse.  Some shoulders are long and angled placing the withers different.  I don't like the full or 7/8 positions as they will pull the saddle back and down in front.  They are more for roping and should have a back cinch.  I like for a barrel horse to be positioned at 3/4.   I feel it helps keep the saddle well balanced without the need of a front cinch.  The back of the saddle doesn't pitch in this position.  The riggings where you can go from 7/8 to 3/4 are great.
