Dropping in to share that my horse had one of those “night and day” differences in a Stride Free saddle. I’m going to do some more trial and error before I claim to be a believer, including adjusting his current saddle. But I’m a little floored at how he went from toe dragging and tight tail to loose and tracking up just by changing his tack.
As for how the saddle felt to me - I didn’t “love” it per se, but I found it comfortable. And I feel like the balance in it was helping me post a little closer to the seat than I do in my current saddle. Most saddles I feel like I’m too big for (my outer thighs and sides of my bum don’t feel like they fit nicely in a lot of saddles), and I didn’t feel like that in the PH.
