Re: [RC] [Guest] Treeless Saddles (Torsion) - Karla Watson
My friend just got one. She LOVES it! You can
also get them in different colors too! Seems to me alot like Bob Marshall
treeless but has a little bit more padding for the rider. You can also take out
the cantle and pommell wood pieces (zipper there) and put in wool stuffing to
make it really soft. Hers is still brand spanking new so its a little on the
stiffer/not broken in yet side. But she says its very nice to ride in. Comes
with english fittings which is nice. There is this flap that covers the buckle
and english leathers so you don't feel buckles. I think they tend to run smaller
in size than BM's. My 15.5 BM is bigger than her 15.5 Torsion in the seat. They
look smaller than BM in back length for the horse. Very lightweight. Feels
lighter than my Bob Marshall. Looks like she won't need extra fleece seat saver
since its pretty soft and not too slippery. If I needed to buy a new saddle (I
prefer treeless), I would buy one of these.
