[RC] Torsion Saddle - Sonshine575I just completed my 3rd CTR with this saddle. I was not able to complete with my treed saddle, all treed horse saddles seem to have a dip down the center of each side of tree and my horse has a straight back with well-sprung ribs. These saddles rock on her back. I found her sore right along the edge of the spine, not in the muscles on the sides. It does have the rider directly on the horse's spine. Great saddle for limited mileage rides unless one plans to spend a great deal of time "in the stirrups". It will work for me temporarily until I find the right treed or paneled saddle which I prefer for CTR.It did NOT work to put the Supracor Pad underneath the Torsion because when cinched down tightly, it pulled the pad onto her withers and gave her white spots. One needs a thin pad underneath that can be cleaned that is cut back over the withers. Catherine Schultz
