<< I may get a Wintec wide-tree western saddle to start out. There, it's out. I can handle all the scoffing and scorn, I'm sure. I began riding in an English Wintec and found it to be just what I needed - cheap, light, indestructable, and reasonably well-fitting. I now ride in a Crosby Soft Seat. I expect to do the same kind of thing with the western saddle - find out what I really want before I invest in a nice one. >> OK Peg.....I have an even better deal for you in a good cheap synthetic saddle. We bought Cody the Thurogood ( sp ) from Stateline tack. It is a Wintec knockoff and has been wonderful. It is an all purpose saddle, deep seat for jumping, looks nice and is comfortable. He rode Kaiser in it and took lessons all last summer, and you just hose it off when done. It ran around 170.00. Shipped free to our house when we ordered it from a Stateline store at a local Petsmart in Riverside. Time we all came out of the closet. I also ride in a synthetic Western saddle, and havnt had a complaint from my knees since. Go figure. Lisa Pedersen who also wants a synthetic harness, Zilco.
