Here's why you should not believe everything you read on the net...

I like to keep up with what people are saying about saddle fit......because that is what I do!

I recently stumbled on an article, written by a well known saddle marketer's wife. It so happens that these people bought my book "Saddle Fit For Success" that I wrote around the turn of the century. [Most of what I wrote still stands today plus a few additions].

This lady interpreted a statement I made in the book and in her internet article suggested that saddles were made too wide for women and that they should be made narrower. However, she was focusing on English saddles in her article and my statement in my book pertained to western saddles. In fact, I said that "English saddles were too narrow for women, and western saddles were too wide for women".

Obviously she hasn't clue what she is talking about.......and many of you listen to people like this!

I call marketers like this bridge burners. Their success will eventually fizzle out......

But I will still be here. Cheers!
