Lamplog Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lamplog Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
