It all depends. It depends on the rider and it depends on the horse. I 
have both a Functional (all purpose) and a Baker Trail (VSD Summit in a 
Baker tree). On one horse the Xfunctional is what the doctor ordered. On 
the other the VSD is what the doctor ordered.

They move differently and the different different saddles complement the 
movement. I rode a endurance model one time. On one horse (the horse I 
ride the XF in) I hated it. On a different horse I loved it.

The best thing to do is demo one and see which works for you, your horse 
and the combination.
