HI Len,
Well
I got to try the corrector yesterday and today. Yesterday was good and what I noticed was my horse Maverick(6yr.geld, prominent
withers) was willing to step out more and reach with his front end. However; I was somewhat out of position as my saddle was
tipped forward too much. I only used a 1/4" wool felt pad on top the corrector and I realized half way through the ride that
because my saddle is fairly wide it was sitting too low in front.
Today
was different! I've owned Maverick since last Sept. and today was the best ride I've ever had on this horse. He normally
is a slow walker and I've always felt it was because the saddle was uncomfortable for him. I love to trail ride and I
like a horse that can stretch out and walk right along. I used my old 1/2" woolfelt pad on top the corrector today and it
set the saddle up perfectly. The improvement was amazing! maverick moved out better than ever before with his neck
stretched out and his head was swinging in a long striding walk. His ears were pricked and he was just happy to cover
the country.
There
was also a bonus. Maverick is often distracted by anything different on the trail and will shy quite a few times
in the course of a 2 hr ride. Nothing severe, just a little spook in place or a 90/ pivot away from what scared him. There
was none of that today. He just moved out and never acted afraid of anything. Oh he took a close look at some
junk and plastic bags along the trail but went on by like there was no problem. I'm comvinced that when a horse is truly
physically comfortable his confidence level is much higher. Horses that hurt are looking for ways to get out of work.
Oh, another
bonus. My saddle never moved or rolled around. Normally I have to shift my weight and press one stirrup to level
things up and that will happen fairly often during the course of a ride. Not Today! my saddle stayed put right
smack in the middle even after mounting. Two hours on the trail and I was always centered. I couldn't get over it.
We are going to be logging some long miles from now on now that Maverick and I are both comfortable.
Thanks Len for a good
idea that really works.
P.S. I showed a few other folks at the saddle club where I ride how good the corrector
is and you may have to be making some more to ship to Canada.
Best regards,
Carman

Hello Len,
I'm contacting you today to let you know that I put a check
in the mail this morning to order another Corrector, this time a standard western, please.
The English style Corrector is working great with the treeless
endurance saddle that I use; now I want a western one to give me flexibility with the other miscellaneous saddles and horses
that I keep around here.
I have several other pads designed to do the same job as
your Corrector, but my horse gets yours. I like it because it's lightweight and keeps a close contact feel when used over
a light {1/4" or 1/2"} absorbfelt pad {to keep it clean}.
My horse moves very freely using it, confirming my initial
thought when I first saw it advertised: "that looks just strange enough to work!"
Thank goodness for those individuals {like you} who think
"outside the box".

Mr. Brown,
Thank
you for the CorrecTor. I have a 7 year old MFT that seemed very hard to fit with a saddle, no withers and barrel chested.
He was unwilling to work and fought my every request to learn, he hurt. In May of 2003 I was getting ready to put my savinings
into an expensive paneled saddle when my sister, a trainer, gave me your literature. After contacting you by phone and having
a great conversation, I decided to give your pad a try. Wow. We are now side-passing and having a ball. He seems more relaxed
and willing, which in turn makes me more relaxed knowing his tack is not causing pain. Thank you for giving us a solution
and me peace of mind that I'm doing everything possible to make my horse more comfortable on our rides.
Thank you again,

Len,
I recently recieved my CORRECTOR
and I'm very pleased with the results.
I Have an ORTHO-FLEX American OUTBACK saddle, and
have had problems fitting my MULE. I took your advice and removed the Flex-Panels, then used the corrector under my saddle
pad. I did have some trouble with the pad being too big for the corrector. Using a smaller pad sized like the corrector
would be a good idea.
When first riding I instantly
noticed my MULE moving "looser" in the FRONT END. I also noticed closer contact, and enjoyed sitting "DOWN" in
the saddle.
Removing the Flex-Panels
and using the Corrector appears to have solved
the Pressure Points in my case. I would like to
commend on your concern for HORSE & RIDER COMFORT and will update you futher as I use this Combination.
THANKS !

HI Len,
Thanks for your call to check on how the English Corrector is working on our Connemara Cross.
He is now moving out freely with no signs of pressure or discomfort. Having studied the literature on all of the flex-system
saddles out there, it is no surprise to me that the simplest approach is the one that worked best. Thanks for solving the
problem (and saving me $2500 bucks)! Best Regards, Nelson L. Garnett, DVM - Dickerson MD.

Hi Len,
Well, I tried the pad today, and with
it my saddle definitely did not hurt my horse. However, he has such a round back and barrel, really have to get it tight to
keep from rolling. And, then I could still feel it move a little side to side, but stayed put.
It was really great to ride in
my saddle again. I still feel the swinging on and off but that should get better after the new fleece pad breaks in. I'll
just have to keep my rides shorter for awhile, HA!
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR "INNOVATION",
it saved me from looking for a new saddle. I will definitely spread the word.
Sincerely, Gale and Stormy
