Does anyone out there have the endurance style sports saddle? I've had mine
for five years and love it. When I aws at equitana I talked to some
endurance riders who siad they weren't good for the horses backs.

Alice,
I have two Sport Saddles, and ride mostly for fun on the trail.
Do a few endurance rides a year. In 3 years, I have never seen
any kind of sore back from this saddle, even after riding hard
3 days in a row. I consider it to be the best saddle I have
run across. It certainly works for me and my horses; is the most
comfortable and balanced saddle I have found, and I feel my
horses move out better. I think I must know at least 25 people who
have ended up with this saddle, and haven't heard of any major
complaints about it.
I am somewhat surprised at what you heard at Equitana, although
everyone has different opinions. I believe that Genie Stewart
Spears was there, doing demos for AERC, and I would assumme she
was using her saddles (Sport Saddles). As she is a very successful
competitor and does 100 mile rides at this saddle, you might want
to direct your question to her, as Horseworks@aol.com
