I am considering buying an used Ortho Flex Saddle. Online, so fitting not possible. Would like to hear from anyone who has had experience with them. Pro & Con. I currently ride in a Bob Marshall Treeless Sport Saddle and just love it, but I have a 3 yr old Qtr horse that it is a little big on. Hoping the Ortho Flex will fit her better.

Any other comments on Western style Endurance Saddles appreciated also. Like Abetta?

I don't ride Endurance, but like the balanced comfort these saddles offer.

Thanks!!

Angie,
Just me , I would not buy a saddle that I could not try on my horse first. I did that once and will never do it again. Tree was broke. Lost a lot of money. Also would try me in the thing also.
Abetta' s are okay but, they don't all fit the same.
Just my thoughts.
