I have some questions regarding the Freeform saddle
and the saddle which I currently have which is a SR Enduro. I am
contemplating selling my SR and trying a Freeform. If I like it and I can sell
my SR will probably get one.
Anyways, this past ride season my horse started to
develop white hairs from my saddle, plus not every ride but probably every other
time I would take him out for a conditioning ride and saddle him he would start
to freak and pull back at the trailer. I had a saddle fit guy come out so I
could find out what was wrong w/ my saddle. Come to find out the tree is too
wide.
So, I guess my question(s) are:
1. Has any gone from riding an SR Enduro to a
Freeform and do you like it?
2. I know there is a Freeform w/ the thigh roll do
many endurance riders use this one or do you prefer the model w/o the thigh
roll?
3. How comfortable secure do you feel in the
Freeform. I am used to a western type saddle, so going to an English type might
have some getting used to. I know they make a western type model but I really
don't like the looks of it.
4. Any other input anyone can give me about this
saddle good or bad would be greatly appreciated.
