[RC] Saddle fit/Treeless ? - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I have been reading all the posts regarding saddle fit
and although I don't have this problem (yet, maybe never)
I have considered trying a treeless because so many people
have had great success with them.

I have a POA that I ride and am smallish myself.  She has
good withers, not to high, not to low and with the dressage
she's muscling up nicely along her back.

The dressage is helping me too but I would still say I have
a long ways to go to be truly centered.  And she is a 
very opinionated pony who expresses her feelings sometimes
with a few crowhops and maybe a leap into the air.  
Lippizaner style.  Needless to say I'd like to ensure that
1) my uncenteredness doesn't end up causing problems and
2) she doesn't unseat me during our "airs above ground"
manuevers.

Would a treeless saddle work under these circumstances?  I
currently ride in a Wintec 2000 AP saddle with the CAIR
panels.  She is in a med. wide gullet at this point.  I
use this saddle for everything, dressage, trail riding
LD so I'd like something that could replace it in all
my different endevours.  Next year we're trying some 
eventing and some H/J shows.  If I need to I could use both
saddles.
