Hi,

I just wanted to write a little note on how answer has changed my life and also my horses' life.  I bought Mlark 2 years ago when he was had just turned 8 years old, a recently gelded  boy and barely broke.  The first 6 months of training was really good-although I hadn't really asked him to collect or use his back and he really was a good boy for the most part.  Then the trouble began. 

As our work started to advance he would walk stiffly into the arena and jig non stop.  He was constantly running off with me and it would take me several times around the ring to get him to stop.  I was frustrated and in tears-he was worn down as well.  Mlark has one of the best temperaments of any horse I have known-he is eager to please and really never does wrong on the ground.  Finally at my wits end I put him up for sale.  Something inside me said that there is no way this horse can be so good on the ground and such a terror to ride.  I had his teeth checked, a massage, and a vet exam.  Everything came back perfect.  I looked up back problems on the internet and found the Ansur.  I got in touch with my rep, was able to ride in the Ansur for a full week.  I was hooked-my wild guy became long and low, slow and relaxed!  Jumping him was no longer an death wish for myself!   This horse became my dream horse.  Before the Ansur I couldn't ride a training level test NOW he is schooling 2nd level movements just after 4 months of the Ansur.  I can't thank you enough for creating this saddle-I know Mlark appreciates it as well!!

I included a picture of him-I tell everyone that owns a Haflinger about the Ansur.
