Off to try some new flaps for my WOW saddle today.

Someone is going to have to stop me as I'm getting totally carried away!
It started off with me ringing Wow just as an enquiry about getting some different blocks for my GP as my instructor thinks the ones I have in are too small and don't give me enough support when I'm jumping. I spoke at length to Dave at First Thought and the options are trying different blocks or possibly having some custom made for my existing flaps (cheapest option) or he did mention changing to the actual SJ flaps which also have a small thigh block (obviously much more expensive). So I'm off to my saddle fitters yard this morning to play with different flaps and blocks but am getting totally carried away with the thought of getting SJ and dressage flaps -

Think someone needs to calm me down before I spend far too much money LOL!

oh don't get me started! I went for the shallow seat and XC flaps nearly a year ago and haven't looked back. but it did take me about 3hours to decide on which flaps i liked best!

Well amazingly I've come away with nothing! I've had the air adjusted and that was it! Can't believe what a differance a few puffs of air can make to the overall fit! I've had some more air added to the front airbags because the saddler said it was tilting my body forward and my lower leg back. Once the air was adjusted I found that the knee roll/block seemed to be in the right place again. I jumped several jumps and felt really secure again so that seems to be that - all I had to shell out was £25.
