I'm considering the possibility of a treeless dressage saddle for my  
old-style Morgan gelding. (Short back, low - non-existent withers  
depending on weight and condition, big shoulders, big elastic swingy  
movement.)  I've been spending the weekend doing some research, and  
they look interesting -- interesting enough that I'm now considering  
them seriously.  So I'm posting for two reasons today:

1. Does anyone have a used treeless dressage saddle they are thinking  
about selling? If so, I may be interested. I usually ride a 17-17.5  
inch seat on a regular dressage saddle.

2. If you have ridden in a treeless saddle, I would be interested in  
your input about your experiences. Was it secure? DId the horse seem  
to like it? Did you like it? Did you have any long term issues with  
the horse's back or any other physical repercussions? Did you use any  
particular pad with it?  Etc. (I typically ride 3-5 times per week  
during the academic year, and 5-6 days a week during the summer. Ride  
time is 30 minutes to 1 hour when schooling flatwork.  We do some  
conditioning work outside on the farm, and I fit in trail rides  
whenever I can.)

Many thanks in advance. BTW - I've only been registered for this   
list for the last month or so, and I have to say I have never seen  
such a helpful equine list! I've been referring people from other  
lists to find answers here.
