SANDRA HUOT TELLS HER STORY ABOUT THE CORRECTOR !
SANDRA HUOT, B.C., CANADA. HORSE WAS TRANSFORMED
SHE HAS USED IT FOR YEARS AND FOUND THE SYTEM IS BEST WITH SOCK OR ENVELOPE PAD!

Hi Len,  We won the Green Horse Trail, Novice Amateur Trail, Select Amateur Trail at the Canadian National Quarter Horse Show 2008. My horse's registered name is "Tommy Two Lark"
   He was in his show Tack for hours and did not sore up or even get the least bit uncomfortable. His last go was even better than his first!
    I did have a winning photo taken but  haven't got it back yet.
    I have just purchased a Sock to cover the Corrector, which is in the Supreme Cutter Envelope. It is to go under my Show Pad, as the Cutter Pad is great for everyday use but just too big under my show pad. This week at the show I had to use the Corrector over a thin felt under the show pad and it just does not sit the way the Cutter pad does.
  However it was still much better than without it. My horse's back is much stronger now we are always using the Corrector and he does not have the hollows behind his shoulders like he used to, before we used your saddle pad system. Now, he never gets saddled without it!  
   We just won the Quarter Horse Canadian Nationals in all our divisions. He is able to work consistently and comfortably now we are using your system. 
Thanks so much!! Sandy Huot ...
    Aug. 26th 2008.

Hello Len ,  I just wanted to let you know that the SOCK works wonderfully well under my Show Pad.
   Also my horse's back has improved so much since I started uing your saddle pad system that I have been able to reduce the front shims from 3 down to 2! His back looks awesome , his top-line has improved immensely. He can lift his back now without discomfort and he is getting softer and softer with all his trasitions.
   We just had another great show and came home with another circuit award buckle!
   I have given your contact information to other Quarter Horse Show people who have had the same saddle  fitting problems that we have had.  Thanks for inventing such a great product! Sandy  9-23-08 
  Len,  My horse is turning 17 this year and his back now looks better than it did when he was years younger. It is exciting for me to be able to now add other classes to our show schedule and know that he is happy and comfortable and totally willing to go out there and work for me.
    People can't believe he is 17, even the vets think he looks like a 6 yr old! I believe his conditioning and his new attitude are a direct result of using your saddle pad system. Thank you so much for developing it! Sandy .... Jan. 07, 2009

Dear Len,
   Thanks for the Saddle Pad. It has changed the way my horse works!
Before, when you would be CUTTING a Cow, sometimes he would pitch a little, and or, not run real Hard to the FENCE. I tried several PADS. But when I used your New design pad, he is now working like a Champ! We took second at Grand Island this year in RANCH CUTTING!  By the way, my Granddaughter and I do a lot of Trail Riding and there is so much difference, Hank WALKS FASTER AND MOVES WITH HIS HEAD DOWN!     Thanks, Claude Bryant  ,Ok. 
  •    I designed the corrector to overcome~ basic inadequacies  found in most all saddles.               In 95`&96`over 500 top ROPERS and REINERS paid $1,000 apiece to have the O/Flex System put in their saddles. Though it worked well for the horse, most riders couldn't get used to:.....
  • The feeling of being up "off" the horse.
  • Having to girth extra tight!
  • The Rebound of the panel system. (bounce)
  • How many shims to put behind the shoulders! The loss of CONTACT & FEEL to their horse!    
  •  Now for only the cost  of a quality pad you can get a far advanced system that; makes any saddle work for your horse or any other horse, frees up the shoulders and restores natural movement and gives you closer contact! It also positions your saddle properly every time, regardless of   the horse you put it on.                                STOP...SPENDING THOUSANDS!.                                 FIGHTING ~the SADDLEFIT MONKEY~Len

With the Corrector as shown, It won't hurt the horse at all, it's hard to bite thru the shields!

This shows you the shields up close on the horse.

Len, I've been using the Corrector for about 2 months now, and just wanted to let you know how it was working.
  I have a 9 yr. old REINING HORSE who was sluggish when he was asked to back up. I felt that my saddle was digging in behind his shoulder blades. Since I have used the Corrector his backup has improved greatly. His turnarounds have improved as well.I wanted to thank you for a great invention.
                                Sincerely,

BARREL RACER DROPS BY TO GET 30
websquarepro30_004.jpg
HER HORSE WORKED WELL WITH THE CORRECTOR AND SQ. PRO ENVELOPE. A COUPLE OF SHIMS IN FRONT IS ALL.

Hello Len,
  I have a mule that got very bad sores from a flex saddle, which I thought would not make her sore.  It is a timberline cutback trail blazer model.  I guess it was copied from the Ortho- Flex saddle, so I was told.  I also used a proffesional choice air pad under this saddle.  She has permanent damage to her back in the form of very bad lumps.  I saw the damage soon enough due to the winter hair.  Will the Corrector system correct this problem?
  P.S. Again, a person would not think a flex saddle of this kind would do this.
- Regards, Sephen J

JANSING IS CONSERVATIVE, HE RODE THE CORRECTOR 1YR
jansingwebonmule.jpg
HIS TESTIMONIAL IS IN WESTERN HORSEMAN JUNE ISSUE!

Hello Len,  Back in the spring I had you work on my Timberline Flex Saddle.  I in fact I had used this saddle for a period of 2 years prior to this. During that time, never did I know I was hurting my mules back. As a result it was putting severe saddle sores inbedded in her back which she still lives with. Len said some screws had worked loose which holds on the delrin panels and were grinding in the mules back.
   Thanks to Len Brown and the re-construction of the saddle and the Corrector pad, the lumps haven't gotten any worse and maybe have improved some. I rode her all summer and at this point feel very confident I can ride her without feeling like I am hurting her.  Thanks Len  .... Stephen Jansing   12 / 12 / 2008

The Envelope pad is the easiest way to use your Corrector. Front balance shims are often necessary to put you balanced in the seat of your saddle. Using it with only 1/2" total thickness and your saddle just back  of the shoulders you may ride lower in front than with your old thick pad or your saddle up over the shoulders. The balance shims are designed to lift the saddle for your comfort without pinching at the withers like thick pads do.(or roll on the roundbacked horse) The envelope is cut to move like the corrector. Cut: back in front, Elliptical in center, and  forward from rear, it's the coolest close-contact pad for the horse you'll find. With a core of 1/4" Polyester felt, a bottom of Polyester Bedpad Fleece, and a top of 1/8" dense Black felt you're properly outfitted for anything. The Corrector stays clean and balance shims are held on top of the protective shields as with any of the 3 types of envelope pads. Just slip the corrector or shims in or out in  a few seconds to give you a complete saddling system.
 All Envelope pads with wearleathers now have Hermann Oak Gator Harness Wearleathers. Just to give you the best and make it last. Len

PRESSURE IS WHAT MAKES THE CORRECTOR FUNCTION!

PRESSURE AND THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD IS NOW THE SHAPE OF THIS Quarter mare!

 The cut of the CorrecTOR and the 4 molded protective shields shape to your animal immediately. They follow his movement thru the; bending,raising and lowering, of his back. Relief slots are engineered to buffer the pressures of Impingement to Movement created by all saddles. This prevents interference with the shoulders and keeps the saddle in the correct position. No Damaging Pressures at the withers & loins! You get close contact, natural movement
and a more stable saddle even in the downhill. Call Len @ 816 625 0333

HORSEBACK for 3,000mi. THRU THE WEST TAUGHT MANY LESSONS ABOUT SADDLEFITTING AND the HORSE.

The Std. CorrecTOR fits 13" thru 14" saddles with 25" or shorter skirts, Synthetic saddles can size down 1" for ordering, because their bars are shorter.   Most Aussie models and any 17" or larger English work well with a Std.Western for trail, endurance, etc.                      Saddles 14.5" and up with a 26"skirt or longer and 22" + Bars  work best with the Large Western CorrecTOR. Lengths of the Western Correctors: [Std.=25&1/4" lgth, Large =27&1/4" lgth.]

They copied all they could copy,
But they couldn't copy my mind;
And I left them sweatin`and stealin`,
A year and a half behind.>Rudyard Kipling
  Since 1983 I've spent millions educating the public about the effects of saddles on  the horse. My Misson has always been to improve the lives of HORSES, that I'd grown very close to, after our 3,000 mi. horseback TREK in 1982 with 2 riding horses and 3 pack horses. 
   Now there are "Questionable Delrin Panel / Flex Saddles"   everywhere. Have you spent Big Bucks for a poorly made FLEX model {to hopefully FIX your saddling problems} just to wake up with a WHOLE SET of worse PROBLEMS? Don't confuse Form-to-Fit & other Flex-Tree saddles with spring panel Orthoflex type saddles. The CorrecTOR works great with the flexible tree and treeless saddles that are harsher to the horse than most regular saddles. If you have one, you need the corrector; enough said!  PS> since first writing the above I've noticed saddle manufacturers have made their flex trees stiffer & with little flex. I guess it took a lot of mad customers out there to finally get thru to these manufacturers that: The last thing the horse needs is to have a FlexTree bend and hit the middle of his back in a small localized spot. Maybe there is only 15 or 20 K of them out there! 
 
     The CorrecTOR will fix rolling problems of a Delrin panel system like the Ortho-Flex. You'll see testimonials from long time Ortho-Flex owners on the site. First you have to remove the panels, here's why: It's the pressure from the front of the bars; that keeps the CorrecTOR and YOUR saddle positioned, and makes it work. "That same pressure that gives you fits right now with your regular saddle!"  The lack of any localized pressure under a Delrin Panel saddle is why they roll like a "CAMEL SADDLE" and slide forward in the downhill like a pair of Snow Skis.
     From two to four hundred I remove the Delrin Flex-Panels from: Ortho-Flex, Timberline, American Flex Saddles, Amera Flex, FlexLite and Watson Bros Western style saddles. That price includes new fleece on the old skirt leather, restitching and mounting the skirts, like  a normal saddle's skirts. Checking and correcting the rigging positioning and angle. Shimming crooked bars with leather or felt as necessary and return shiping to you. The Price on English is highest, Endurance models can quite a bit less than the western. See the page on Delrin Panel saddle Conversions. Len >816 625 0333  Then you will need  the CorrecTOR to evenly distribute the excess tree pressures as your horse moves, just like it does under any other saddle!  As well, it will give you close contact,  position your saddle automatically, stop the bounce & rubbing and eliminate pressure points under panel & skirt mountings! [CLICK ON CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR MORE INFO] 
   Most of the above Knock Off Delrin Panel Saddles have panels that are way to stiff & pinch at the withers and cause extreme friction soring in the ft. and rear from bounce, the CorrecTOR will fix that also. Just remove the Too-Stiff Panels or skirts.  Your Flex Panel saddle will lose 5 lbs. and be 4" or 5" shorter if you want me to reduce the skirt size also.
        
   Unfortunately most of the above has been very confusing to the public. Just a mad rush to make big bucks with little knowledge or long term experience with the Quirks of a touchy spring panel system, or <flex tree & half tree saddles (treeless)>THAT have been around in Europe for hundreds of years! 
  It takes years of experience to "safely" step outside of the tried and proven in the horseworld and be successful for the longhaul. I learned this the hard way over the last 24 years! I've made mistakes and I've learned a lot.  There are no OLDTIMERS in this field but me, and I'm SMART ENOUGH NOT TO DO A FLEX-PANEL SADDLE AGAIN!  Don't believe the History of the Panel System Saddles by HillView Farms or Kathy. She was doing patent knockoffs but they've mostly expired by now. The trademark arena is another problem.  She doesn't make her own trees either. The reasons for 2 duplicators are: one for bars, one for forks and cantles. Not extra business.  The tree patterns of all the knockoffs OrthoFlexes are so crude as compared to my originals it's hard to identify them. The new OrthoFlex is no better.
 
 
      When I owned ORTHO_FLEX I sent a special pad, special girth, and special rigging, were necessary to make the PANEL SYSTEM FUNCTION "reasonably well".  I spent more on Paying Clinicians, Advertising, and Troubleshooting the flex panel System than I did making saddles. I shut down ORTHO-FLEX by CHOICE. I could have taken a Chapter 11 and erased the large debt load and kept on making them. I didn't want to, I knew better after 17 years of trying. The First patented system I did worked the best but it fatigued and stress cracked in a year and I had to replace 150 of them. NO Material would hold up to the one system patent. The other LATER patents were done to try and make something work as well as it did but to stay together. None of these treasure hunters building panel systems and charging big bucks know this. They don't know the history of "WHY". 
  Thousands of people make saddles, I make saddles WORK ! Len Brown
