Re: [RC] [RC] Free 'n' Easy Saddles - terry banisterI'll second that emotion! One of the benefits of all the flexible-panel saddles is the fact that they CAN be adusted for changes in the horse (s). So that does not eliminate the responsibiity to the rider to take a monthly assessment of their saddle/horse and make those adjustments, (instead of buying yet another saddle).
