Sorry to hear you had to do such jury-rigging to get the
saddle to work but hurray that you did. I was excited to hear your last
comments. Since I changed to the Barefoot Cheyenne, which is similar in
design to the Torsion, my Rougie has changed his stride dramatically. He
just flys down the trail with such an extended trot and now he loves to canter
which he would never do with a treed saddle. And yes I think like Koterja,
that he is happier and enjoying himself on the trail. We have moved up to
50 mile rides this season and I love using this saddle as it is so comfortable
and I feel so secure. When Rougie spooks and jumps sideways on the trail
it is as though I have glue on my bottom, I'm right with him. I believe it
is because of the closer contact both on the back and down along the
sides. Well anyway, I was happy to hear someone else getting the same
wonderful results with the treeless saddle.
