		<description><![CDATA[Story by Jule Drown Poor saddle fit can contribute to your horse&#8217;s lameness. My 6-year-old trail riding horse, Alegro, seemed slow, and I couldn’t coerce him to go any faster on trail rides. Later he could barely move a muscle. Improper saddle fit can cause slight and gradual problems, and eventually lameness in your horse. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Marilyn, Just wanted to let you know that my Zena is on the mend and I&#8217;m finally getting to put some ride time on my saddle. It&#8217;s a dream, I really love it. My horse made me wait almost as long as you did :0), but you&#8217;re both worth it. I will recommend your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;When I first tried out my new horse, the owner had a Desoto saddle on him. I had not seen one, or even heard of one. After not having ridden for about 3 weeks and on a strange horse to boot, I was skeptical to say the least on how I was going to feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Marilyn, You asked that I send you a note and tell you how my new saddle is doing on Tshane. Well, it&#8217;s wonderful! At last no more bridging, loin rubbing and feeling like I was teetering above my horse. I now feel balanced and comfortable and Tshane is able to collect in a way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Marilyn, Just a quick note to say that we have just returned from our trail ride in Mountain City, TN. The terrain was extremely rugged and the horses worked ery hard! (Not to mention that it was a heat wave while we were there). We rode every day for 3 to 5 hours. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I also have a Desoto saddle &#8211; I love it! I did not order her pad, though, since I already had an almost new pad from Sharon Saare. My Desoto fits so well, that I find I really don&#8217;t need a thick pad. I have been using Sharon Saare&#8217;s slim cotton pad (it&#8217;s about 1/2&#8243; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One problem that endurance riders face as we begin riding our horses longer distances and spend more time in the saddle, is finding a saddle that is comfortable to both the horse and rider. I have found many saddles that are comfortable to me, but over time have proven to be uncomfortable for my horse(s). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Marilyn, Have had my saddle for about 2 months now and am more in love with it with every ride.
