LOL - I'm with you on that one Phil....No way I could use my saddle as an
anchor. I use mine every day, rain or shine, but to use it
'as an anchor' - I would take the straps and hobble my horse if I had to.
Of course what MSAR professional doesn't carry plenty of
string/rope/duct tape to use in a situation where there was nothing solid
to secure our mounts.

It would have to be a big emergency form me to use my $2,500 hand made
western saddle as an anchor.
