Re: [RC] which saddle to use? - marybenstoverThe SR is pricy but can be restuffed as your horse changes or you change horses. I love mine.........mb
I can't comment on any of the saddles you're considering for yourself, but I started out with a big horn endurance myself. I liked the saddle a lot for my comfort, and my Arab did fine in it when we started conditioning, but got sore as we got fitter and started working faster & longer. It was a fairly heavy saddle (as far as endurance saddles go - but lighter than your average Western saddle.) My horse got sore in the loins - so it was possibly too long a saddle for his back, or just didn't balance my weight well. It did seem to fit him ok standing still, but clearly didn't work for distance. Just my experience with a big horn endurance saddle.
Good luck with the saddle search!
