I've had 3 different saddles purchased for endurance and this is how =
they were
for me.
1. Wintec endurance - Comfortable for me. Easy to clean. VERY light. =
Loved
the English design. Cheap. Didn't fit any of my horses well enough. =
Sold.
2. OF Traditional - Very comfortable for me. Pain to care for (leather). =
Gorgeous to look at. Loved the western roominess of it when I got used =
to
it. Expensive. Heavy. Fits my one horse, but not the other. In storage =
while that one horse heals.
3. SS - Comfortable for me. Lighter. Medium price. LONG wait. Not very
attractive. I consider it the ugliest of my bunch. Most adaptable. Fits =
both horses. I'm using it now on my previously impossible to fit horse =
and enjoying, it. I will switch back to the OF when I ride the horse =
that it fits, as I consider it a sin for that beautiful saddle to sit =
hidden if I have a horse that it will fit.=20
Hopes this helps. I'm no longer in the Great saddle search, thank =
goodness,
as Ive found the SS to fit all horses I've tried it on. I'd try the OF =
and then
use the SS if that didn't fit.
