The thread about the wreck reminded me that 4 or so years ago I promised to 
let everyone know how my new biothane billets held up.

The background is that on my OF Endurance cutback saddle, the 
English/Dressage style billets were made of leather and I was replacing them 
every couple of years.  I had replaced them  most of the time before they 
broke during a shy.  The event that caused me to use Biothane, was a shy in 
a stream.  I ended up in the stream, and the breast collar/crupper prevented 
a real wreck.

At the time of my previous post, I had about 2 years of use out of the 
biothane ones I had made and they looked good.  After 4 or so more years 
they are still fine.  I heat sealed the holes and ends before hand glueing 
and sewing them in place.  I would guess that in 4-6 more years they may 
need replacement.
