Thanks, Karen. I plan to check out all
these saddles. I have some time before I begin saddling Minuet, my Arab filly “rescue.”
Her back is very similar to my mustangs’ and his Synergist saddle may fit
her once she grows a bit more. While I’m pretty happy with the Synergist,
I’m interested in a treeless saddle, thinking it may be more comfortable for
her than a more traditional treed saddle. --Dave

Ranelle, also curious what is in the pommel? And is it removable?
Also the cantle?
Dave and all....the list of proven treeless saddles has grown
tremendously in the past several years as manufacturers are really coming up
with new designs, testing, etc. I bet some of you have not heard much
about all the new Sensation, Freeform and Barefoot models, Startrek has several
models, new Equiflow treeless, Treefree, Foenix, as well as quite a few
more....
Ranelle:
What are the differences between the Bandos Trail and Bandos GP models?
How much do these saddles cost? Who sells them? I've been thinking
about a treeless for my 1.5-yr-old filly once I begin saddling her in about a
year. --Dave
