Members Lamplog Posted August 2, 2011 Members Report Posted August 2, 2011 I have a saddle I am working on for a gal that is really concerned about weight. She is not going to rope with this saddle, so I would not have that stress involved. Here is my question. Is there any advantage to using a flat plate in place of a normal inskirt rigging ring. Would any of you feel that there is a problem using a flat plate in a inskirt rig? I have seen a few guys use flat plates, so I am wondering if any of ya all here have used em? I think the skirt would have to be lowered like a flat plate and to me that would give a little more surface for the skirts to bear on. It is a little different look. Thanks, Tom Quote

Members Lamplog Posted August 3, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Troy and Bob, Thank You, I was pretty sure there would not be but it is nice to have assurance that it would, especially from the likes of you two gentlemen! Have a good day! Tom Quote
Members spur2009 Posted August 5, 2011 Members Report Posted August 5, 2011 I use flat plate riigings (553's) for inskirt rigged sadles all the time. They work perfect Quote "Roll a brown paper cigarette"
