Re: [RC] re: treed versus treeless - M. Paul LatiolaisI tried a Bob Marshall treeless last- weekend. Karla Watson was kind enough to lend me one. The horse felt good underneath me. Unfortunately the saddle did not fit my anatomy.One of the things I was impressed by synergist is that they make the saddle fit the rider as well as the horse in areas that other saddle makers don't consider. The Bob Marshall (and others) sure is a lot cheaper. If I were not planning to ride A LOT next year I might get a less spendy saddle. -Paul L.

If he has truly downhill conformation (croup higher than withers), I doubt you will ever get a good fit on any kind of saddle, as any saddle will tend to slide forward into the shoulders....I hate to say this, but it is the honest truth; a good riding horse should have a relatively level back......
