Best saddle for giraffes

[TonyMelton]

In keeping with the 'best saddle' thread theme here's my question to
y'all....

Which is the best saddle to put on a giraffe? I think you'd need a
pretty strong durable saddle on a giraffe because the forces involved in
dropping the giraffe are greater than on a standard uni. Has anyone used
the KH and viscount and Miyata saddles on their giraffe for comparison's
sake? I'm inclined to think the Viscount may be the most durable (once
the bumpers have been fixed) but not the most comfortable.

Also is a handle an advantage at all? Is it useful for seat out back
riding? [KH saddle vs KH freestyle saddle]

I had a ride on an old DM 5 foot giraffe last night and boy it had an
uncomfortable saddle! It was an older model than 'this one'

you might want to upgrade the bumpers to make it more durable.

I have a Torker Black saddle on mine, which is just like a miyata. It's
comfortable enough to ride long distances (parades and such), which I
think is important. I think KH saddles would be overkill. They belong on
more versatile unis.

the strength isn't as important as it sounds. Whenever I dismount or
UPD, I catch the saddle anyway. I think a viscount, or united is just
fine for a giraffe.

Hmmmm, seeing as I have all the seats mentioned above (except a KH
freestyle) I'll just do some experimenting and see what works best.
