I competed in a Pro Endurance for 14 years....did over 3000 miles (combined
ctr/ld/endurance....2700 miles in endurance). The only place it wore out
was where the stirrup leathers rubbed holes in the flap. I loved its light
weight and minimal care. However, there is really no support--no knee
rolls, no thigh blocks; I'd be very sore after hilly rides, and it's
also not very secure. In fact, I switched to a deep-seated American-Flex
after a couple spectacular ejections when riding my new and very green
horse. Bottom line...even though it is a "cheap" saddle, I feel it
really stood up to the very heavy use I put on it. It's just not the most
comfy saddle in the world.
