Re: [RC] treeless saddles - Elkenchild

Hello, that is a good question! I just got the torsion endurance, and like the sweat pattern it leaves on my hard to fit horse and the way I can feel her move, BUT I was caught in a spook and thrown into the backseat (like waterskiing), while the saddle moved all over the horse (there's no tree). Some will say this is because I am not yet a balanced rider (and they may be right), but my tendancy as a rider is to be too forward in the saddle, so I think the saddle design may have too much saddle in front. Also, there's a weird crack in between the saddle seat and the upraised back that feels strange to sit on, maybe the seat's too small for me? I'm gonna ride it a few more times and make a more thorough conclusion. It's certainly is well made though!
