[RC] McClellan saddles in endurance? - Lucie Hancock

Hi,
I have a question for any of you who may have experience with McClellan saddles. The background for this question is that my custom made saddle was damaged at the Pyramid Challenge, and the tree was broken. I am sending it back to Desoto Custom Saddlery to be reepaired. The local tack repairman suggested to my husband that we get a McClellan saddle as a "back up" saddle because the army had to use them on so many different horses. I understand that the calvarymen would change horses every three months or so, but had to keep the same saddle.
so...I want feedback from folks who ride or have ridden with a McClellan. I know of three used ones for sale in my area, but don't want to take a chance on hurting my horses buy purchasing one that won't go the distance.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Lucie H from South Carolina, and HH Trinity
