Hi Ranelle,
good news for me, I am getting a used demo one to play around
with....I love these lightweight treeless saddles for starting my
young horses.....even though my top of the list treeless right now is
my Sensatino hybrid.

Curious why you switched from Freeform to Bandos?  Weren't you riding
Freeform for several years?
Thanks, Karen
