Crosby All Purpose does anyone know of any problems using a crosby saddle with thoroughbreds?
i have a 16.2h thoroghbred w/ high withers. i was given 2 crosby saddles. 1 all purpose and 1 prix de nations. i am now hearing that they dont fit thoroughbreds good and positions you the rider incorrectly on his back.. does anyone have any expertise in this? would love to hear from you. i do not want to hurt my horse. btw the saddle seems to fit good w/ no pinching or rubbing
I've used a crosby on thoroughbreds for years; no problem. If the saddle seems to fit, use it.
Who is sick and tired of the Crosby getting injured bs?
I know I am...for all intents and purposes he is talented and just a play-maker, but he is also super soft.
I'm torn on this one. As tired as I am of being told by the braintrust of Western PA that Lord Crosby is the greatest thing ever (he's not), there is, as they say, two sides.
I'm not a doctor. However, I'd like to put some perspective on this.
It's entirely possible that he is literally having growing pains. It's not uncommon for guys in their late teens/early 20's to still have this (especially if they mature late). Two ankle injuries in consecutive years, a groin...it could be a structural/skeletal issue. Or, it could be that his ankle injuries haven't healed, which puts additional strain on other body parts.
Or, it could be that the grind of an 82-game regular season puts a huge strain on muscles.
