Good luck with your saddle search.  I'm still loving my Freeform 
saddle, particularly because it really does fit every horse I've tried 
it on.  I can't attest to its effectiveness over the long haul because 
I haven't been able to ride any one horse for very long distances yet 
for all sorts of irritating reasons--arthritis, EPSM, youth, blah, 
blah, blah.... But I'm hopeful the saddle will continue to suit me and 
my horses.

FYI, I discovered a saddle-fitter in our area who also demoed County 
saddles.  The cool thing about County saddles is the company's 
distribution method:  because they're sold by certified fitters (who've 
arrived at their decision to represent the company after being trained 
in completely unrelated programs), you nearly always wind up with a 
great-fitting saddle.  My County Competitor is terrific because I could 
try all the styles and was able to choose one that suited me before 
having it fitted to my horse.  The best part is that I found the saddle 
I'd chosen on eBay for half the demo price--the fitter had no problem 
with my purchasing the saddle elsewhere.  She fitted it to my horse for 
$25.00 even though she had to trek over 45 minutes to get my house.  
Out of gratitude I bought my girth and leathers through her....

Good luck--I had a blast looking once I'd committed to the notion of 
buying a new saddle--there are so many cool options out there!
