Glad to know you like it since I ordered a 14.5" endurance model from
Genie 12/9. I did ride in a friend's schooling/training model about 8
times though, so I'm a little familiar with them. Friend has since
bought an endurance model; now she has two SSs.

My sad story is that my 5 yr old OF endurance cutback doesn't fit my
young, muscled, broadbacked, tall Arab mare, though it did for her first
6 months of conditioning, it didn't for the last year, and I've finally
admitted defeat. It's fit 40 other horses. <sigh>

A friend is looking for a new saddle, but she's a heavyweight, and I
don't think the SS provides enough weight distrib. for her. OpinionS?
I ride FW, do you mind if I ask what you ride? In a 14, you must be FW
also. The one I borrowed was a 14, and I needed just a teeny bit more
room in order to not contact the pommel while posting.

And which pad you're using? Are you using the girth provided?

I think I'll be using my OF's stirrups. Which are you using? Were you
used to Western rigging before? Did you order the stirrups moved back?
