Re: RC: Ortho-Flex questions

[Maureen Mathisen <blueoak@snowcrest.net>]

Sylvia,

I also love my orthoflex saddle.  It is one of the earlier endurance
models, and has fit every horse I have except my Connemara stallion, and
his is built Very round--like a  Cob, and I haven't been happy with any
saddle on him yet.

The only thing I don't like about my Orthoflex is that is is rather
heavy for ME to lift since my back has been so bad, but I have never had
a "ridding" problem with it!
