I agree with Steph's comments on the typical sports saddle.
A year ago I began using an Ansur treeless saddle, which looks a lot like a 
dressgae saddle and gives me the centered feeling and deep seat I need to 
ride "properly". It is pricey but the English-saddle styling means I can 
get by using it for foxhunting as well, I no longer need a 2nd saddle. And 
oh does my horse love it! He's done fantastic ever since we switched - his 
recoveries are better and his stride longer at the end of a 100.

I regretfully had to withdraw from the Pan Ams because of limited time and 
$$, but was hoping to have the Ansur people do a display at the Pan Am ride 
site since they are based only about an hour away. Too late, I found out 
they were willing to reimburse me for fuel receipts (coming from the East 
Coast, that's no small offer!) but $$ aside, I just couldn't take off work 
long enough.

I encourage you to try to find an Ansur rep in your area and give this 
saddle a try...or visit www.ansursaddle.com

If you 're like me and usually do your own crewing, you'll be thrilled by 
how lightweight it is. A Skito works fine as a pad, but I often use just a 
cheap wool felt with a slit along the spine..

Best Wishes, Mary Kornwolf
