In the news
- October 2009
America's New
Mexico State University is carrying out a scientific study on Western
saddles to give cowboys and cowgirls a smoother ride and at the same
time challenge the comfort and fit of traditional saddles.
Researchers
are using a pad with sensors to measure the pressure levels at
different areas of the saddle.
Their study
will include several hundred horse and rider combinations with the
aim of improving the comfort and health of both horse and rider when
using a Western saddle. |
