Not my saddle, but it occurs to me to mention...  Have you ever heard 
the expression (military) that "ten attaboys can be wiped out by one 
'ah, s**t!'"?  (how's that for punctuation?)

I don't care what company it is, mistakes can be made (and hopefully 
rectified quickly when informed about it).  Any saddle can be sized 
properly from the get-go and NOT fit 6 months later, whether due to age 
of horse, level of riding changes, rider issues that affect the horse, 
etc.   Anyone who claims their saddle can fit "every horse" is smokin' 
something.   You know what my biggest peeve is?  Riders that buy 
adjustable saddles that don't check to see if they STILL fit.

Horses with big white marks from one of today's highly improved 
flexible panel saddles probably fall into that category.  IMO.

Customer service can really vary across saddle companies.  Awareness of 
saddles that fit vs. those that don't really varies across the 
population of distance riders.
