>> I think American Flex and Timberline are just watered down copyright infringements
if you go to cathy's web site...you can learn alot of OR/American Flex/ AmerFlex history. Len Brown who developed the OF also developed the American Flex (after OF went bankrupted) since then he has had a few other spin offs with different names. So, you see the American Flex is not a watered down copyright infringement saddle. <:P] "THE LICENSE: This license from the Original Ortho-Flex Saddle Co. was sold to "Rocking R" who then changed their name to Timberline, which was sold to K-B Saddle Shop - who kept the name, SK Saddle, Watson Brothers Saddles (former Rocking R) for a time sold out to Ozark Mountain Saddles who since terminated relations with Richard Watson and the Saddle Ranch. This system is a hybrid of Ortho-Flex Systems I and II." http://www.american-flex.com/history.htm Lots of interesting info on the site.
