Here's The Deuce

[oltoot]

If the seat you're sitting in is better than anything you've sat in up to that point, it's great, and women will be satisfied with a little different seat than men will, and tin with leather is the best. Now, having said all that, here's another thing, and to me the most important, to take into serious consideration. Look at the horse with no saddle (not a mutton withered fatso) then add a bareback rider. There is a place where the two will match up perfectly. The saddle (tree bars, seat, rigging, stirrup leathers) should maintain that relationship. Remember that the horse is just as important as the rider. There is, however, one big difference; the horse is less likely to praise you or complain if things are not quite right. They put up with a lot in this relationship and have always. They have put up with equipment that was poorly conceived and accepted training methods that were little short of brutal, even cruel. How blessed has mankind been to have such a tolerant partner to carry us through the centuries and do all sorts of work for us, but I digress, back to seats. "Perfect" will vary a little with seat length, rider size, etc. but good will do.
