I bought my first horse, Breezy, eight years ago. Now I own a small farm and a second horse, Dak. Competitively, we barrel raced for three years, and most recently we have been trail riding for pleasure. I have owned no fewer than six saddles, both Western and English, and neither Breezy nor I was ever happy with the saddle fit. Then I came across Carmi Weininger and ReactorPanel at Equine Affaire. Being a former engineer, I immediately recognized the possibilities with RP saddles. I have, for the first time since I have owned Breezy, a saddle that leaves no dry spots!

Professionally, I am a licensed and certified massage therapist for both people and horses. I frequently see back problems in horses that are directly related to saddle-fit issues. Regardless of how many times I treat a horse with these problems, they will never resolve without a properly fitting saddle.

An RP saddle can be modified in many ways to accommodate the horse´s natural frame and movement, and many adjustments can be made to accommodate imbalances in the rider's anatomy as well. In this way, the RP system creates a harmonious and balanced team.

I am so excited about being a fitting agent for ReactorPanel, as it allows me to provide a real solution—a properly fitting saddle that is comfortable for both horse and rider!
