Anyone seen these?

Any thoughts? I"m not clear whether you have to have a WOW saddle to use them. But they are claimed to be good for horses whose saddles slide forward. Any mule potential do you think?

Moon is back in work So saddle issues are back at the forefront of my mind! We've gone really traditional with her. She's now going for walks down into the village led alongside a sensible older horse she trusts, to start getting her muscled up and get to look at the world. She comes home mentally (not physically!!!) exhausted (she's only doing a 1 mile round trip at the walk!) and lies down to sleep all afternoon but is being very good and seems to enjoy herself. She'll be re-backed very soon...

I dont think you need a WOW Saddle, but certainly you need a smaller leather girth behind. And yes, i think thats a good alternative for Mule Rider which have (not yet) a britchen.

That looks interesting! I'll ask around some forums to see if anyones tried one

Thanks Jinglejoys!!!

I do have a lovely set of mule britchen, oiled and ready to go, but I'm not sure I've got D rings in the right place on the lovely new English treeless I accidentally kind of found myself buying last week. It's a HM Fhoenix that although second hand appears never to have been used.

I should have stuck to a rug fetish. Much cheaper than a saddle fetish. I now have 8 saddles between 2 equines which is frankly ridiculous especially when two of them don't fit either of them. Still got two western saddles for sale, anyone want one??!!!!
