Can I get some feedback about the stonewall saddles from some riders who
have experience with them.  Any pros and cons.

Thanks in advance.

I rode close to 10,000 miles of my endurance rides in a Stonewall
Clifer (the cutback model, which they don't make any more).  I tossed
the fenders and used biothane stirrup leathers.  When the first one
wore out and the tree finally broke, I bought a used one and sent it
to Stonewall to be reconditioned ... it came back like new.  

Pro:  light, comfortable for me and the horse, versatile rigging.
Rarely had any back problems while using it (me or the horse).

Con:  it won't fit all horses, and the Clifer didn't have the tree
strength for longevity.
