Anyone else on the great elusive good-fitting saddle hunt?  I thought I
found a keeper yesterday.

I really liked the idea of treeless so I got some of those.

BMSS, very comfy and I liked it a lot:  Too long, sores loin.  (Not
apparent on a test ride.  Problem did not show up until I logged two
weeks of riding in this saddle.)

Torsion:  I loved it.  Horse's back, not feeling the love.  Loin
issues of BMSS, moved forward three inches.  This one made it a week
and a half.

Forty dollar craptastic no-name English saddle, all slippery and flat:
I hate the dratted thing.  Horse's back is happiest it's been all
summer, immune to my pointy fingers.  Horse moves better, extends
better, appears more generally happy.  Wet spots on back are all even
and uniform.

In saddle selection, my horse outvotes me.  It's been three weeks
(ninety miles) since I started with the craptastic English saddle.  So
far, so good.  Keep your fingers crossed...
