Okay, I'm about ready to strap the sofa cushions to my butt and velcro myself on. I need help! I have tried many saddles. I don't want to list them all because I am sure they worked for some of you. What are you multi-dayers and 100 milers riding in? I have found a saddle that is quite comfortable for me but my horse does not like it. The Reactorpanel looks great but its out of my budget, although with the money I have lost buying and selling saddles, I could have bought one. I have spent my life riding english and can't handle the western fenders but I like the security and coverage of the western saddles. I don't like the "perched" feeling of one popular saddles with panels. Any suggestions? Karen
