Re: RC: treeless saddles

[Mickie Newnam <akela@peoplepc.com>]

Kristi,
I weigh about 220# and the sport saddle is the only one my gelding likes!  He
is hard to fit and the only saddle I know of with a tree that actually fits
(a friend's Simco show saddle) still made him give me a dirty look.  I would
advise getting the Skito with the 1" inserts though.  Standard is 3/4' but I
felt the 1" would help even more.  So far so good.  I've been riding in the
sport saddle for over 5 years now.
