Ruark Report post Posted June 14, 2014 I always used a metal strainer on these Texas working ranch saddles. Seems to me like it gives a more solid, stable feel to the seat, especially if you have to slide up forward for a quick stop or if the horse bucks a bit.

plinkercases Report post Posted August 10, 2019 Recognizing this is an old but excellent thread I do have a question I hope someone can address: I get that the counter of the ground seat is essentially up to the art of the maker with a few "standard" but has anyone developed a method to somehow capture the riders shape and then sculpt the ground seat for the closest contact and comfort possible? I am.thinking more.for riders who have little or no built in seat padding on their butts and inner thighs etc. Thanks if you can help.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
