  Asked  about the new  treelsee saddle that resembles the Torsion, how it 
was fitted, how it was made ect. It is less expensive than the 
torsion---thought you all lmight like to read this in case you are

Just because someone tells you that your horse isn't "fit" for
endurance...doesn't mean it isn't, it just means your horse isn't fit to be
"their" endurance horse! Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish
with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS!
