I cannot speak with certainty, but I'd bet that Sharon designed her saddle 
before anyone else did.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought one in 
around 1972, one of her first saddles.  I hadn't heard of any other 
endurance saddles before that, or even for several years after that.  If 
someone knows differently, I'm willing to be corrected.
