Theyare more reasonably priced and we are now seeing some that are for sale used.<<< I am always cautious when a particular saddle hits the market, then some start showing up "used". What is it that the folks did not like about them? Well, I for one LOVE my Barefoot. But, I'm not surprised if a few end up being resold -- saddle fit & comfort is so personal and individual that any saddle is bound to be disliked by some people even if others absolutely adore it. In the case of the Barefoot, I can conjecture three main reasons people might resell: 1) wrong size purchased; this seems to be a problem some people are having with this particular saddle (buying size 1 and needing size 2) 2) stirrups too far back; this is part of what I love about it, but I can see it being a comfort issue for those who prefer them more forward 3) wide twist; while it's narrower in feel (to me at least) than a Torsion, the Barefoot is still a wide saddle (feels like riding bareback) and some people are more comfortable with more of a twist ~Nicole Zephyr Arabians http://www.zephyrarabians.com KattWmn Web Design http://www.kattwmn.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
