In answer to the Free and Easy saddle
question. I rode John Parke's Icelandic Pony, Skjodur, 50
miles at the XP- Just hopped on the pony and saddle for the first time, and
rode off. I found the saddle to be very comfortable and easy to
ride. Skjoldur has a completely flat back...no withers at all, and the
saddle fit him well.
