I sat in one recently and loved it.

Anyone got one and have any comments good or bad to make? Which models have the set back stirrup bars?

Thanks

Well as you can tell from my signature, I have one LOL :D and they are indeed super comfy.

I believe they all have slightly set-back stirrup bars. When Barry sold me mine, he talked about how his saddles help to put the rider into the correct ear-shoulder-hip-heel position which in turn would help the horse to work correctly.

Alas, having sat in mine only once thanks to my horse's permanent unsoundness :rolleyes: I wasn't checking my position, I was too busy worrying about his right hind! But it did feel great *sigh* :)
