Re: treeless saddles

["Karen Sullivan" <greymare@jps.net>]

My reply to this is....how many "trees" fit horses exactly?  the tree can't
distribute weight evenly if it doesn;t fit the back exactly, and in my
opinion, it never will, since the back changes shape so many times when the
horse lifts or lowers it's head, or turns....gains muscle or weight, etc,
etc.
