I will chime in on RP. Much to Lynne Glazer's dismay I was the first
endurance rider to try one ;-)! I demoed it, called them ( actually it
was her since there was only one person at the time) and told them it
was not coming back. That is going on 6 years ago. Before then I was
buying a new saddle for the Jbird on a regular basis and then another
in six months and another in six months and of course selling them all
at a loss.
He's been in his RP since the first time I put it on him and I figure I
have save at least 5 or 6 thousand in not losing money on buy and
selling saddle every six months.
Has he changed over time - he sure has but his basic structure is still
the same and a few flips of the wrist, moving a disk here or there I
have been able to adjust my RP to accominate the changes. With the mare
I got so frustrated I had a custom saddle made. That was fine for 3
years - then I had to have another one made.
So yes they are pricey up front, but in the long run I've found mine to
be a real bargain.

me as another happy RP customer. I have one very wide RP and one
completely medium RP :) - both the cross functional. One new (a year
old) and one over 10 years old - bought used off E-bay last Christmas.
Love the saddle and the service - and, yes, they answered questions and
helped me all they could on the used one I wasn't buying from them just
like they did on the new one.
Yes, they are pricey up front but I haven't bought/sold a saddle (and
of course lost the alloted amount of money) in over a year :-p and
don't see one in my future- it's money well spent I think :)
