abetta saddles

[TddWil@aol.com]

My friend had a western abetta saddle that sored her horse even tho the fit 
looked good. When I flipped the saddle over and ran my hands down the 
underside I found out that the tree had indentations in it where the stirrup 
leathers go around the tree. The idea was to avoid a lump caused by the 
stirrup leather but the made the indentation too deep. This caused the saddle 
to bridge the horses back. I looked at an abetta endurance at State Line Tack 
and altho the dent was harder to feel because of some extra padding it was 
still there. Has anyone else noticed this? The Bighorn is fairly cheap too, 
does it have any problems like this?
