JAM Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 I'm about to build my first saddle and, being a woman, I want it to fit me well. I've read that some of you are really good at building a "ladies seat" and I'd like to know what differences/specifics I should be incorporating into my seat to make it work better for me than the average men's saddle? Is this info already written somewhere or incorporated into any makers' videos? Thanks in advance for any advice. Quote Life is unpredictable; eat dessert first.

Is this info already written somewhere or incorporated into any makers' videos? Thanks in advance for any advice. This is really a matter of undestanding what shape it has to be which is pretty tough to put into words so I will tell you what I did to get a handle on it. First you need to read this article . Since this is for you the job is pretty simple you can add leather to the groiund work and carve it out and sit in it and adjust it until it meets your needs or you can make a mold of your behind. To do that get yourself a hunk of fairly soft foam and some molding material like the fiberglass casting material they use for casts or plaster kind will work too. Make a sheet of the material large enough to capture your rear and legs. Stick the foam on the horse followed by the sheet of casting material which that by then you have wet. Cut a couple of holes in a garbage bag and slip it on. You can do this in the nude(which is better for being able to find the seat bones) or you can do it over your jeans. Sit on the horse in the position you want to be in on top of the foam and casting material until it sets. Get off and then you have a mold that you can shape the seat too keeping in mind you will be adding several more layers of thickness after the ground work. David Genadek Quote

Members David Genadek Posted April 27, 2008 Members Report Posted April 27, 2008 David, I hate to ask but I gotta know, have you ever actually gotten anyone to do that ? Yes when I did custom work I molded everyone that ordered a saddle. For orders they had thier pants on. I only striped them down for research purposes as I wanted to get clear impression of the seat bones. I knew the females would be wider but I wanted to know how much. Here is a picture of a few they are old and well traveled. David Genadek Quote
JAM Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Posted April 28, 2008 Wow! You are so very helpful! Actually molding a seat is about as specific as one can get. I'll have to try it and see. Thanks! Quote Life is unpredictable; eat dessert first.
Moderator bruce johnson Posted April 28, 2008 Moderator Report Posted April 28, 2008 For once, I really don't know what to say. Even if I could talk the customers into it, I see another issue. Most of mine are riding horses I doubt would still be in the same zipcode while you approached them naked hiking up a garbage bag loincloth. If they did get mounted, that would be a tough one to explain to the malpractice attorney. Probably safer for me to just have them sit in the groundwork and go off that.
