Karen, Are you familiar with fitting saddles? And what sort of back has your horse?Let the group know and people will take the advice from there. And I would like to piggy-back onto your question with one of my own: are treeless-dressage saddle allowed in any levels of competition?

Old rider - very new to Dressage - need help in sorting out how to go about buying a used dressage saddle - what questions do I ask, what do I look for.
Thanks in advance for any helpful input.....

Jan j:
Would you be kind enough to post some reminiscences? Tell us about some of your trips, some of the judging you have done, odd things or touching things that have happened, perhaps how you see students/competititors struggle with certain movements over and over, changes you see in the sport since you began; that sort of thing.

Remember that only the folks on my newsletter list get the Freedom from Fear program at a REDUCED cost, and they also get the FREE ebook 101 Tips to Ride your Horse on the Bit. In that book, I reveal things that few people explain in a way you can understand and use! If you're not already signed up for the newsletter, go to www.janesavoie.com

I always video tape my rides at clinics and shows to go back over them and critic as much as possible. It's also fun to go over videos from a couple years back and see what you've improved.

What technological 'assists' are people aware of for teaching people about their seats when they ride? Are computerized pressure pads used under saddles or on stirrups to see how riders weight themselves? (I know these sorts of pads are sometimes used for saddle fitting.) Are any electronic 'hook-ups' on the riders' bodies used to indicate position? Do people go over videos with coaches or use digital cameras for the same purpose regularly? What have people in this group done or used or seen used? What was most helpful?

LOL--Andre, and my horse wishes to be white...if you go to my page and click on the photos, you can see his face is well-started!
Sit-the-trot---a discussion sounds wonderful! :-)

To clarify to Mary, yes, I apply the Feldenkrais method to riders and that is my main client base. My private lessons involve work on my table (Functional Integration) followed by work with the person on the horse. Clinics typically involve Awareness Through Movement lessons and on-horse work. Of course I also have clients that just come for FI. Mary I'd love to chat more about this, we should move it to a discussion forum.
Ann, I've love to see your mules. Audrey Goldberg? lives just down the road with her dressage & Mtn trail mules. They are magnificent.
Andre: he sounds like he's expressing his Yin/Yang nature!
