RE: [RC] Best saddles for under $1000 - Rae Callaway

Question on the Big Horns - do they have a different tree than the Abetta?
My guys only fit in the Abettas when they are thin and as soon as they start
to muscle up or fatten up, the saddle starts to pinch them just below the
withers.  I would love to find an inexpensive cordura type saddle that would
fit them for those bad weather days (not to mention the swimming in Lake
Conroe rides! :o)

 If you prefer a *western* type endurance saddle check out
the Big Horn. I have been very pleased with mine. I bought
in here on endurance.net when I first decided to try
endurance for a whopping $250. I didn't want to shell out
alot of money..my current western saddles were very heavy
and the horn kept getting in my way. My plan was to upgrade
if I decided to continue to ride endurance..well so far I
haven't had a need to upgrade..it has fit 3 different
horses and I'm doing 50's and one 100 with no saddle
issues. I did find the seat very hard and slick but adding
a saddle cover from Jan solved that issue. I have been told
it's best to locate an older used one as they are better
balanced and made than the newer ones. mine is very
balanced and well put together for an *off the rack*
saddle.

Regards,
Penny
