I have a hip displacement that puts a lot of pressure on my right side. I have a very old dressage saddle that I love and fits my guy well enough. No problems doing 50 milers so far. I depress the right side of my saddle and it does need attention!!
You are lucky that your saddle does not need to be re-flocked. Mine does and I wanted to know how other people felt about having their saddle worked on so often. My saddle if not flocked with foam. It is flocked with wool. I personally like wool better.
If you all in CA need a good saddle flocker, the man I have has flown all over the country to work on people's saddles(even Endurance people's).
