Shelly,
I know what you mean about
the pommel on the softsteel patriot. It's amazingly high and sharp; it's
dangerous!
As for suggestions for one saddle that
will fit all three horses: that's a tall order, but the first thing that
comes to my mind is the Sport saddle.

I have always ridden in
an english saddle until I couldn't find one in my price range to fit Shadow. I
had used Wintecs on my previous horse with no problem. I picked up a new soft
steel Patriot right before the original Ortho-Flex company went belly up for
less than $700. Shadow loves it. I am beginning to hate it. I'm used to no
pommel to speak of and I have gotten some really nasty bruises. This usually
happens while jumping logs or ditches. I also really miss having knee rolls. I
liked my all purpose saddle. Is there a treeless/flexible panel saddle out
there that I would like? I'm not able to spend $2500 for a saddle, so this
limits things. I have 3 arabs and 1 saddle has to fit them all. The Ortho-flex
does. What about Torsion?
