I too have a Horstmyer saddle and think the world of it. I competed my Moyle
horse in it for seven of the nine years I competed him. He never had a sore
back, and moved out big and bold. Now I 'm anxiously awaiting my new one any
day now for my young horse. I have seen many "winning" horses in these
saddles in the southeast in both competitive trail and endurance. Good luck!
