Kent:

Thanks for spelling out my options. I have to rule out the hi-tech option since the nearest prosthetist is about 125 miles from home. On the recent death of my Dad a couple of months ago, I was left with the full responsibility of a large cattle ranch, a couple of thousand acres. A chair, or hand walking is ok for the ranch house, but I do need to ride a horse, essential when I need to check for sickness in the herds, etc. I have been riding for most of my life with my Dad so I know what problems I will face. I have experimented sitting in a saddle and had the guys strap me in place, at least enough to get a sense of what adaptation to a saddle will have to be made. If you have any information, or leads which might help I would appreciate a word from you, or anybody else.

Charlie
