Really? I'm curious why no one has "reported"
this to the list? How many are numerous?
How do the people think the pommel tree
was broken?
More info? I too am planning to order a
second, being totally happy with the first
(I have the "newer" type with the fleece
bottom which doesn't seem narrow at all to
me). I'm just trying to figure out how
the tree section would break....

I'm not trying to be negative here, but
more info would be helpful before
condemning this saddle...
