It has a low set horn, in skirt rigging, nice channel down the spine,
round skirting but enough to dispurse the weight well.
So I am wondering:
What is the downside to competing in this saddle?
I ride in a saddle with a horn also, but
when I was in the hospital after my last bone-busting fall, there was a guy in
there that had been gored by his saddle horn when his horse fell on him.
Needless to say, he was in way worse shape than I was, as I had been pitched
clean and unceremoniously. If I ever have money again, I would like to
get another English type saddle--no horn and easier to get off in an
emergency.
