So, like many, the “perfect saddle” is as elusive as a unicorn with a visible horn. So after trying a wintec CC, a wintec endurance, two circle Y’s(endurance/ equitation), two big horns(youth/ endurance), an abetta, a barefoot, a black forrest, a tucker, a pandora, an ortho-flex, two bob marshals(endurance and barrel), and whatever else I’m forgetting I tried a Leon Liversage trailrider “Haboob”.
My but is in love, I was suppose to demo it over an LD and a 50 but due to the horrible weather I did two LD’s instead and it was ass-maizing. In sandy, muddy, raining weather I received zero rubs. My back didn’t hurt, and my feet didn’t go painfully numb on mile 5. It’s not terribly expensive but still out of my budget so as of the moment I got home all of my saddle are for sale (any takers?)
It’s not the heavy saddle I was looking for since it’s their lightweight endurance “racing” saddle but I’ll work that out later, for now I just have to wait to have mine ordered then see how my horse, Gretchen, likes it. I might trade her in if she doesn’t but the reps looked at her and said that she should fit it well. I also might add a sheepskin to make the seat a hair smaller but even without one it was great!
So basically if you’re looking for a saddle I would look them up and see what you think, I’m sure they’re not for everyone but I’m pretty excited!
