This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lisa, I got a used Laser saddle w/ an adjustable gullet. Love it very much, lets me have great leg contact + fits like a glove on both me and the ponies. When I ride my WB in it, I just narrow up the gullet w/ a couple of turns of the little allen wrench it came with. Funny, I too prefer a good used saddle; if its a decent quality saddle (i.e.e expensive when new), it will usually hold up very well,unless someone has done something drastic like roll it + broken the tree. Good thing about used saddles is I don't have go deaf listening to creaking leather to break it in! There are a few used Lasers available from time to time, usually from consignment tack stores. FWIW, I also got a really nice older Stubben Siegfried off of Ebay recently for under $300 incl. shipping - (don't know how that happened, as it is in fantastic shape. Very comfy for trail. I bought it for under saddle classes as the black dressage saddle sticks out a bit in the sea of brown leather ;~) I also have a Hubertus all purpose dressage saddle that I am considering selling as I like the Laser better. Good luck in your search! Kmac
