Ah, Kate! I have a passion for saddles, keep buying and selling
Ortho-flex, trying other brands, I probably surpass most folks on this list
as to the number of saddles I have bought since I got into
horses. presently I have four Ortho-flex saddles, one Tucker and one
dressage Rembrandt. Ogling another Ortho-flex on eBay, and thinking about
the Trekkers, would like to have one of each, want to try them all!
I started out buying a Sharon Saare endurance, , then my first
Ortho-flex, sold the Sharon Saare, then bought a bright blue synthetic
Australian. Sold that, bought a later model Ortho-flex and sold the first
to a friend, bought a Collegiate Dressage, a newer Ortho-flex, then an
English style Orthoflex,...and so on, ...Probably have bought more than a
dozen Ortho-flex saddles, all told, plus several different brands of
English saddle, several brands of Western saddles. Am I a Dealer? Well I
should be running a Tack shop I guess. I am a "Saddle-holic!
I am still lusting after a special edition of the Ortho-Flex "Challenger",
an old model no longer made, and look at the Ortho-flex saddles on eBay
every day! I confess I really get a rush when I anticipate the delivery of
a new saddle!
I would like to collect Fjords, too, but at least I do have a bit of common
sense about that....I decided my limit was four, which I have right now.

I have been reading the saddle chat with avid fascination. I do not need
another saddle - I have a great western saddle that fits and works, and a
lovely treeless that is a comfy as can be. But, I want more. I am
starting to think of saddles the way I do shoes - why not get another
one? Does anyone else feel this collector mentality with saddles?
