I had a Boz saddle years ago.  Boz will certainly tell you that his is 
the best saddle around.  The saddles don't ride at all like english 
saddles because the stirrups are set very far forward.  I haven't looked 
at his website in years but there used to be pix of him riding and in 
them you could see where his feet and legs were.  He was a student of 
Monte Foreman who developed that style of riding.  If you think you want 
to show, I would advise you to check with someone affiliated with the 
shows you plan to enter to make sure his saddles would be appropriate. 
Some do have horns, but they aren't "traditional" western saddles. 
Speaking personally, I don't think the flex in his tree is anything 
wonderful.  There are quite a few good western saddles available now; 
Dave Genaduk of About the Horse, http://aboutthehorse.com/ being the 
guru of western saddle fitting.  Some of his saddle would ride like 
english (dressage) saddles!
