[RC] freeform saddle feedback and random thoughts - shermanTitle: MessageTreeless saddles are
improving all the time. I don't have a Freeform, but have used one before and
liked it, although I ended up with a different brand of treeless that had more
"twist" to accommodate my aching hips. I did have a fear of slipping and saddle
shifting (side to side) due to no tree, but I found the treeless saddle
structure (at least the new ones that I tried) were very stable and secure, even
more so, as I felt more "with the horse" than being "perched" on a saddle.
I thought I needed "sticky" leather, but found the standard works well (with my
saddle) without full seat patches on my tights and without my merino saddle
cover too. I think there is no slipperiness in the seat of my saddle because the
seat itself is soft, so I sit in it, not on it...does that make sense? So if
anyone needs a used once brown merino full saddle cover cheap (bought for
Big Horn and Abetta endurance saddles) give me a holler
(:>)
