Tucker Endurance Saddles

["angela harper" <minpins@hotmail.com>]

Sorry, y'all, I tried to search the archives for input on this one, but
they
don't seem to be working right now.  I'm thinking about saving my
pennies
for a Tucker Endurance saddle.  Does anyone use one, and what do you
think
of it?  One thing that gives me pause is the wool felt the model that I
saw
had as lining, as opposed to sheepskin.  That stuff seems pretty shock
absorbing (I had a bareback pad made of it once that was suprisingly
"cushy"), OTOH, I've never seen it used in this manner before.  How does
it
wear, and is it replaceable?  Also, I believe the seat has some kind of
gel
padding in it that's supposed to make it more comfortable.  Does this
stuff
break down, or get unduly hot?  Any comments appreciated, before I drop
$900+ on something that I may regret.  Thanks.
