Re: [RC] Courbette Kurfurst Von Bayern Endurance Saddles - Milinda EllisDana, I climbed all over one at the local (relatively-speaking) tack shop. When I sat on it I just kinda sank into it. It was extremely comfortable -- especially since I had a dislocated tailbone at the time... As a matter of fact, it's the only saddle I 'could' sit on at that time. I normally ride in a dressage saddle, too and the position was very similar (bearing in mind I was sitting on it on one of those horseback-shaped plastic things you see in tack shops. If I could afford to get several in assorted tree widths, I'd do it (but I have a variety of horses to fit). It felt very secure to me (I could get a good grip) and I'm not the best rider in the world... BTW, I'm in saddle-fitting hell right now, myself! Picture a 16.2h picnic table with pronounced withers... Email me privately if you have any more questions.

I have had trouble fitting my narrow Arab. My Wintec Pro Dressage (with CAIR)seems to sore his back on long rides. Tried treeless, couldn't keep the saddle from sliding back and it rubbed his loins. Right now, I am using my old synthetic western, but it's not the greatest fit and I prefer an english type saddle. I like the look of this saddle but know very little about it.
