          I'd like to respond to Laura in Alabama about O-F saddles.
          
          I"ve owned them since 1990.  Have 5 different models right now.
          
          I haven't ridden endurance in the last few years but have ridden in
          
          UMECRA (Upper M.W) comp. rides with them and many pleasure riding
          miles in them.
          
          In Comp. my scores are so much higher because my horses are
          comfortable.  In the past with other saddles by fall my horses
          would develope subtle hindend unsoundnesses which they don't
          anymore.  I wonder if the people who have bad luck with these
          saddles don't follow the advise of the makers to keep the
          girth snug?
          
          These saddles do flex and with a loose girth could make the horses
          back sore.
          
          I have also been very comfortable in these saddles.  Especially
          like the stitchdown seat.
          
          I would never own any other saddle.
