Lysanne said "I ride in a Wintec endurance model...I do have trouble posting 
sometimes...harder to get up it seems...I am sitting more in a chair 
position in the Endurance model. And I did get a sore back after my first 
25"

If you are speaking of a Wintuck Endurance Pro saddle, I owned one of those 
and found that they do put the rider in a chair position, posting is more 
difficult and back pain is common (and for some gals, crotch pain is also.)

A dressage saddle puts one over their feet so posting should be easier.  I 
now have a  Free & Easy endruance saddle , which also puts me right over my 
feet and I find the positon is quite balanced and really like it.

A friend of mine just bought an Wintuck Jessica Dressage saddle with Cair 
panels and really likes it.  She bought it for her dressage lessons/riding 
though, for distance she uses's a Big Horn.

Try to do a test ride in a dressage saddle if you can, you should be able to 
tell the difference with your feet below you.  Good luck!!

Happy Trails,
