Bob, 

I have two ortho-flex saddles and love them.  I had a horse that was very
hard to fit and have found that the OF is the only one so far that has fit
him well.  This discover after several custom made saddles.  Of course, no
one saddle fits all horses, but this one seems to fit more than one body
type.  I have a nice high-withered endurance gelding and a stallion with a
much rounder body type and it fits them both equally well.  Before that I
used it on a tall narrow NSH gelding and a MFT mare all with good fit.

I have a virtually new one for sale, depending on what size saddle she
needs.  The saddle I have for sale I bought as a second saddle, it is a
Stitchdown model.  I found that I had gotten so used to the Dressuer model
that I just didn't like the Stitchdown so I am selling it.  Live and learn.
If you are interested it is a black cowhide, 17.5" seat (english sizing).  I
have long legs :)  The saddle has been ridden only a handful of times, so it
is virtually new.  I am selling it with booties, girth, leathers and
endurance stirrups.  I have it listed at $1,700 which is $500 off the new
price.  Will consider an offer though.
