My wife and I both ride Big Horn Endurance saddles, but we recently purchased 
a used Abetta - the model you are asking about - for our kids and their 
Arabian mare.  It seems to be well made and a good saddle, at least for their 
little 50 to 65 pound weights.  I am not sure if it is well built enough to 
wear well with more use and weight than they are giving it though.  Probably 
a good saddle for the money, but I'd go for the similar but better made Big 
Horn if you are going to be doing a lot of riding.  Was that convoluted 
enough?  :o)
