Erika,

Like others I love my Synergist.  I have used it two endurance seasons 
now.  It is getting quite a patina.   I would caution you not to get 
the brass screws.  They look good, but don't hold up.  They are just 
not as strong.  They may actually not offer them any more because of 
that.

I  recently met the current owners (son and daughter-in-law of the 
designer) at a horse expo here in Oregon.  Wonderful people; very 
dedicated to their mission.  They were very responsive to my needs in 
making the saddle and in sending me replacement hardware when my 
"pretty" brass fittings started to break.  It really was a pleasure 
dealing with a family run business.

A damn good saddle.  It fits all three of my horses.
