Feedback on my New Products PDF Print E-mail

I love the feedback on the two new products I recently introduced: the Imus 4-Beat Saddle Pad, and the new Breathe Easy Cinch.

 

4-Beat Waxwear Pad

I got to try my new 4-Beat pad and new Cinch out.  Unbelieveable!  No kidding, the pad did great, not too thick, never slid back, seems to dry out pretty good.  Then the girth, it stayed in place and I didn't have to keep tightening it up.  I have had a problem with my saddle slipping back.  My pad must of not been right and it was suggested that I try a shorter girth.  I had been using a 32"  *** with a roller buckle.  On my last two long rides I kept tighting the girth trying to prevent the saddle sliding back and after the rides, there were knots swollen on both sides of my horse where the buckle was.  I felt bad, but  last night after riding with my new 4-Beat equipment, there was no swelling. . .Thank You Brenda for such great products and thanks to everyone relating their  stories and suggestions.

Breathe Easy Cinch

Just wanted to let everyone know my new cinch came in and boy this one was so worth the wait. Brenda ,this maybe my favorite product for my horse yet. (The Ride 'n Tie bridle and 4-Beat saddle help with my comfort too.) No guilt when I cinched him up tonight. I could even feel him relax instead of blowing out. It just feels nice. Maybe my imagination but I even think he was more relaxed under saddle, more sensitive to my leg etc. My Imus saddle was sitting where it was suppose to be after we rode and it seems to me that the cinch had not slipped either.

I bought my first Spotted Saddle Horse last spring.  I had a very difficult year with him last year, and I was getting pretty discouraged; especially, when I attended a private clinic last December and my horse was classified as dangerous for me.  However, I DO NOT give up that easily!  I knew I had to learn to understand this horse and really figure out what I needed to do...long story short...along with other problems, I was having extreme difficulty in finding a saddle that would fit him and me.  I saw and ad in the Trail Riding Magazine about the Imus 4-Beat Saddle, and got online and read Brenda's articles.  Low and Behold, the problems described in her article about Saddle Fitting Problems were exactly what I was experiencing....and I had tried 4 different Saddles.  Also, my horse was refusing to gait anymore...he would only Trot....I was constantly being thrown forward and it was a Miserable ride.

After reading about the Imus 4-Beat Saddle and the Imus Comfort Bit, I ordered the entire outfit...Western Saddle with matching Breast Collar/Saddle Pad and the Imus Comfort Bit.  I just want to tell you, how excited and truly thrilled I am with Everything.  My horse loves it........I absolutely love it....total Comfort for us both, and with the Bit he is Gaiting like the horse I dreamed about.  Brenda, I cannot Thank You enough!  I am finally, totally enjoying my new equine partner.  It is truly Amazing.

Sincerely,

Kathy from Ohio

4-Beat Saddlepad

  

Imus 4-Beat(tm) Sure Grip Saddle Pad

This rugged, practical, good looking saddle pad fits perfectly under your Imus saddles - but will work well under other types of saddles, as well. The non-slip underside permits free air flow, while the topside is constructed of a tough "waxwear" denier that resists dirt, wear and water. The contoured front edge prevents pressure over the withers, it has genuine wear leathers and the center of the pad if filled with a shock absorbing, closed cell Volara foam insert. This is one of the most durable and practical pads on the market today and you will enjoy it for years to come!  Order Here
