RE: [RC] [RC] Freeform saddle, western style - Ranelle Rubin

Julie,

I ride the Freeform SB and have a very wide bodied horse with a very short back. The FreeWest differs slightly, but the concept is the same. My horse's back has never been better. It took me a bit to get used to the saddle as you literally are sitting on the horse, instead of being perched above, so the "twist" is wider. I have never ridden the Bob Marshall, but April Battles can give you lots of feedback as she rides in both, primarily the BM though.

I have ridden in the saddle about 75 training miles over the last month, and am doing a 50 in it on Saturday. I will be happy to email you feedback after the weekend and give you more info.

April's # is 530-823-7321 and her email is Arabnracer@xxxxxxx I am CC-ing her this email so she can get in touch with you as well.

Happy Trails!

Hi, I'd like some input regarding people's likes and dislikes of the freewest freeform saddles. How are they holding up for endurance riding? Are they stable on a round barreled horse? Does the saddle have a twist to the seat or does it feel wide like a Bob Marshall? What kind of pad are you using? Does the seat size range like a regular western saddle? I'd appreciate any replies! Thanks, Julie
