Thank you for the comments. I would add that I am not using an
Orthoflex. I have a Wintec Contour which has a hard rubber tree
encased in a polyurethane-type mold. I am 115 lbs, 5'1 and the mare
is not high-headed nor hollow backed. This saddle has been the first
of the three I've tried (Stuben Tristen, Marciante, Wintec) where she
has dropped her head, lifted her back into the saddle and moves
forward more freely than in anything else I've tried. She does have
quite a "wiggle" or "swing" of her hind end and thus there is friction
under the very end of the saddle.

Thanks again, gail glawson@lr.net
