Twist/Tuend treeless saddle
Yes.. excellent discussion on a seats twist, and a very
good
description from the previous poster.
I'm one of Sharon Saare's fitters, and try to buy and
ride in many
saddles so I can talk intelligently to clients about different
brands.
Basically.. what works for one many not work for
another.
I'm 5'5" 125 lbs, and have long torso a very long thigh
bone.
Leg lenghth is an important parameter.
Especially the lenghth of the thigh
bone. This determines the placement of your knee on the horses
barrel (and where the knee falls in relationship to the
saddles rigging, if its western rigged).
I bought and rode in a Sports Saddle for a while, but
had hip pain
on rides over 3 hrs (I've never had hip pain
riding)
I could just not adjust to it because of the seat (Very
comfy
otherwise though. I know others that have no
problem.
I am very intrigued by the treeless Tuend.. and want to try
one.
The seat is quite a bit different from the Sports Saddle, but
still looks
pretty wide thru the twist.
Anybody ot there ridden in one?
I'd be interested to hear what you think. I may buy one
this winter and demo
it for a while.
Thanks,
