Stonewall saddle Q

["Glenda R. Snodgrass" <grs@theneteffect.com>]

Yes, I too have joined the Great Saddle Hunt. :)  Lakota is now on 
light duty until we find a saddle that fits him better than my 
most-beloved Aussie with which I really hate to part.

So, having always liked McClellan saddles, I'm looking at the 
Stonewall.  I've read what's in the Ridecamp archives, which were 
generally good reviews, but couldn't find the answer to this question:  
how is it balanced?  The catalog says "built for endurance horseman" and 
"flat forward balance seat and rigged the stirrups for standing, easier 
posting and balance walking positions."  Now, to me, these statements are 
contradictory.  I thought a forward seat is one where the stirrup bars 
are slightly more forward, like in English jump saddles, where you have 
to lean your upper body a little more to post and stand in the stirrups, 
which makes the rider tired faster.  I thought that most endurance 
saddles were balanced on the "centered" or dressage-type seat, with the 
stirrups farther back, for easier posting and standing.  So what am I 
missing here?  Is the catalog description erroneous or am I confused 
or what?  

Can anyone who has used a Stonewall tell me how it's balanced and how you 
personally liked it?  Is it a good/comfy/sturdy/supportive saddle for 
endurance (50-100 mi) riding?

Also, I might be interested in buying a used one, if you know of any 
available.
