Well, I did it.  I bought a new saddle.  Again.  I have been riding Temba 
for almost 2 years now, and still haven't found a saddle that works for us.  
But this is the one.  Really.  It has to be.

I knew I wanted treeless.  I gave up on treed and paneled saddles.  I ride 
him in a Bob Marshall trail model right now.  I found that the BM's sore him 
in the loins.  I tried Mackinder, that was a beautiful saddle.  His funky 
shaped back/shoulder kept throwing the saddle off kilter when we rode.  
Torsions, just don't look secure enough for me.  We had serious issues we 
had to work through, so I am kind of still hung up on a saddle that is going 
to keep me from flying off.  Up until now BM and the torsion style are the 
only 2 really out there.  I don't like the way underwood's look, and no 
english styled ones (Ansur, etc) for security issues.

I found this website during one of my periodical searches for "treeless 
saddles" or trekking saddles.

I ordered the "Comfort" model.  I am so excited and looking forward to this 
saddle.  I love deep looking seat and the  flexibility of the design.  I can 
change the pommel, the seat cover, and the panels if I want to really make 
it our "perfect" saddle.

I will let you all know how it works...
