So when, for the SECOND time, Tack of the Day offered a discounted ECP SeatSaver ... that happened to be TIGER PRINT .... I committed to the purchase.
I rode in it only once so far. I didn't experience any major life-altering level of comfy tush, but it was nice. And it's hilariously tacky, so I think it was a good investment. :)
Does anyone else use one? Anything I should know about using one? Does it have the potential to damage my saddle with prolonged use??
I have a sheepskin one -- I do use it for long trail rides, when I remember it! My butt will still get sore after 7 hours, LOL, but it does help and I like it a lot! Nope, no saddle damage.
ReplyDeleteLOL I commend your purchase. However, it begs a very serious question: is there a tiger in Junior's tank?
ReplyDelete;-)
I have one and I also have a Toulouse saddle. I found it protects the saddle and honestly, I really love it. I now have TWO. lol In the winter it is especially comforting.
ReplyDeleteI have a sheepskin one on my western saddle - I love it!Good for longer trail rides too. Although, my new coach does not like it - it is not traditional for western riding! lol I told her it was my trail saddle and not to worry - I won't use one at a show! ;-) I don't think it would harm the saddle, unless one of the sraps was rubbing the leather somehow...
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
ReplyDeleteI have had many of these sheepskins, and they do protect the saddle top. Depending on the quality and plushness, can really provide a certain amount of CUSHY support- for one's bum too!
I recently evolved into needing MORE support in the lower regions. My stablemate has Heather Moffit's "seatbone saver". She is from the UK and has a neat website called 'Enightened Equitation". I got one of hers that is Aeronautical engineered . Its like butter, I love it!
It is on my blog about 3 posts down, in photo of saddle,
I LOVE tack of the day!
