Hi Gwen
We have
several Orthoflexes which work well on most of our horses. They are not
lightweight - but they are comfortable. Now - the REST of the story - my
daughter's picky mare needed a new saddle. Nothing worked for her,
thin-skinned little brat! We tried a number of saddles and fainlly fell in
love with an Advantage - and her new one arrived yesterday. She rode for 3
hours pain free! It is lightweight but far from fragile, well made with top
notch leather, and aside from the xlnt fit on the picky pony, it is SO easy to
stand balanced in the stirrups. I have one now ordered for my 5 year old and
my riding buddy who bought two of our horses has one ordered as well. I can't
wait - this saddle is 10 or more pounds lighter than our other saddles, and
pretty much any other saddle we tried. Probably the best thing is that the
price is great for a custom saddle.
