I am responding, though, because the experiences with these two horses
demonstrates to me that the same saddle will not fit different horses the
same way. I suspect that horses with basically level conformation and normal
backs do quite well with the SS, but horses with strongly downhill builds,
uneven shoulder development, really fat, witherless builds, etc. do better
with other types of saddles. This is just my guess based on my friends'
reactions to trying the SS.
Regards to everyone,
Melody

Just a comment and my opinion, but I think that horses with
strongly downhill backs do not make good riding animals. Just
about any saddle will want to slide foreard and depend of the
shoulders or withers to stop it. Any other opinions on this?
