Whatever happened to common sense in the horse world? I've just been looking at an advert for a new age saddle that costs over £2k, and goes against every principle of what a saddle actually is, and what it should do on a horses back.
Help! What is wrong with traditional saddlery. Do manufacturers and marketing people think that the saddle we have arrived at today did not evolve this way for a reason. After 2000 odd years surely it must be close to a correct item for the job in hand!
I feel sorry for the riders. From what I can see today they are the subject of some vast experiment paid for by themselves, just so that some manufacturers can make some more money based on scare tactics.
I'm not against change and new materials, just down right stupidity, and profiteering at the expense of the horse and rider.
