You have a Bandos? Haven’t heard that name in a long time. I had one several years ago, the pommel started to fall apart after a couple of months, and the seat bunched up. Ended up selling it.

I had one - it worked great on my paint but not on my second horse and ended up selling it in 2015, but I had bought it back in 2008 and held up great. I have heard it was a hit or miss on the quality and I guess I got lucky!
