RE: [RC] treeless saddles - Jen Simons

This may be true for some treeless saddles on some horses, but certainly
not all!  Like with treed saddles, not all treeless fit ALL horses.  

You need to get a good quality treeless, and just as important, a GOOD
treeless saddle PAD!  Skimp and you will regret it!

I have been riding in a treeless for 2 years (LD endurance only - pony
not made to do 50s!).  It has solved a lot of back problems for us (hers
AND mine!).  I even "cured" a borrowed QH's back problems on a 20M CT
ride this fall by using my saddle.  We have never gotten less than A's
on back.  No white hairs have appeared and our sweat patters are even.
I like mine.

A good site for treeless information is the Yahoo group
TreelessSaddles... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/treelesssaddles/

The only negative info that I have gathered on a treeless are the =
leathers that carry the stirrups which are connected to the center of =
the saddle result in pressure upon the spine...then soreness, and =
eventually tissue damage. 

I looked at many treeless saddles, and came up with the same conclusion.
