[RC] Ortho flex saddle for sale. - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Paula Juergens cowlitztractor@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Hi again everyone,
I finally got my new ortho-flex Amigo saddle. I am hating it! Ok, so I'm being 
a baby, but it does not at all ride like I had hoped. It has a feel about it 
that I just am not getting used to. My horse is lazy and rough riding, Tonkas's 
choppy and inconsistant in speed so I constantly feel like I'm going to bounce 
right off of this darn thing when in a 2 point post and struggling to keep him 
motivated with out a mare being in front of him to lead the pace. Being that I 
regularly ride in a small roping saddle or a Bob Marshall, and on more 
ambitious days & on my QH mare I love my all purpose Crosby English saddle. 
That being said the Plantation saddle probably doesn't have a snow balls chance 
in a volcano of becoming a favored saddle with me. I'm going to sell it and get 
a synergist made for my horse and I. I've sat in a couple and like 1 design in 
particular, but didn't want to wait for them to make it,,, thought the 
Orth-flex was a short cut to the same end. If anyone is interested, it's been 
ridden in 3 times, I bought it Brand new last week, it is a 16.5 inch, 2 tone, 
Amigo Plantation fully trim tooled with the Pheonix engraved on both fenders, 
over stuffed thigh rolls, cush seat, has the small Montana silver conchos, 
footman loops everywhere, Crupper/breast collar rings, optional 2 inch Biothane 
stirrup leathers, cushioned western type leather wrapped stirrups, comes with 
the booties and it's own Ortho-Flex fleece & quilted Dressage type pad, 1 inch 
dressage girth billets, Just about every upgrade and add on that you can ask 
for, it has, cost on this thing was $2200.00, I'll gladly take the first 
$1800.00 and include shipping, so I can go get a saddle made that I can really 
use & don't have to whine about. I have a boat load of pictures and will hold 
of on listing it with ebay for a couple of days.
