Re: [RC] re:saddle question treeless saddles - Karen SullivanThe actual company does not have an up-to-date website. There are dealers who are promoting the saddle. Genie Steward Spears, I think she is Horseworks....sells them and has a lot of experience. She might be an endurance.net vendor. April Battles at AB sportsaddles and endurance horses, on endurance.net has some info.......and Gerri Rini, who has www.sportsaddle.com also has just tons of info regarding models, seat size and stirrup position. I have ridden sport saddles for about 10 years and find them quite different from the Torsion.

I've been using my Sport Saddle for 7 years and really like it. The only time I gave my horse a sore back with it was when I got injured during the VC 100 and started riding heavy in the saddle. I use a woolback with equalizer inserts. I've heard that heavyweight riders, or people who ride heavy in the saddle will tend to give their horses sore backs with the Sport Saddle. You need to ride with your weight spread out between your stirrups and your seat because there is no tree to spread the weight across the saddle. There is a new Australian treeless saddle that is rather expensive, but has a "flex form" tree made out of a stiff foam rubber that looks very interesting. I can't remember what its called, but I think the website is on Ridecamp with all the other vendors. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
