Sopris saddles - Jimr - 08-26-2017
Quick saddle question. I have two big goats (I weighed them on scale at 247 and 220). I have NWPG custom fit saddles, owyee aluminum saddles, and some sopris lumbar saddles. I have been using the rigid saddles on these guys, but they really don't fit well. They work fine on the 190lb guys.
I was debating using the sopris saddles and was just wondering if anyone has used them packing over 50lbs. I have searched and read where folks say 50 is ok, but also read concern on a soft saddle. I have been packing 45-50lbs on my big guys and hoping to push to 60lb for elk packing, but just want to see others experience.
Thanks
