Hey Sherry -
We use the Abetta Cordura synthetic saddles on our foxtrotter all
the time, for lessons and trail riding. I am the only one here who has a
"real" saddle. NO ONE wants to lift my wade tree ranch
saddles........these I use for my everyday riding, SAR,
everything........BEST money I ever spent.

Which brings me to my next question...Has anyone tried one of those
synthetic saddles? They are so light and, shall we say, cost effective. I
have some other things made out of cordura and it is extremely durable. I
mostly trail ride and am not out to impress anyone. I use an aussie now,
no
horn to get stuck in the gut with, and like it a lot. I know horns come
in
handy, but I haven't needed to tie off a calf in the 13 years I've been
riding. I have been thinking of a synthetic as a second saddle.
