I think you have a point there! The Timberline guy said to me the took what the original maker (Les?) had good with the original Ortho-flex(before he sold the patent) and went with it. The original guy kept trying to improve his saddle without any trials, so depending on which model/year Ortho-flex you have depends on weather it works for your horse or injures him. So you're right, but they do admit they copied him. >> Orthoflex has recently, in the last two years, came out with a new shorter, more flexible panel, just for gaited horses,<< I will have to check out their website. Just because I didn't write about a certain saddle wasn't a dis - it's because they were not at the convention. If I'd had my druthers, they would have ALL been there, because I only want one more saddle. >> if I were to buy a treed saddle again I would have it custom made for my horse's back.<< Yea, but I've heard so many horror stories about how people paid up to $4000 for a saddle like that and it didn't work out. Also, the back changes, so that is why I am interested in something flexible, or you can change like the Specialized.
