Probably not, but my Boz doesn't sit on my horse's shoulder. > > > > I would NOT buy his saddle.

So I put an X over his saddle. He's a strange bird. If you call him on the phone be prepared to be there for a long time. I really worried about buying it because of the no return/no trial policy, but the other saddles I was looking at in 2003 were custom and non returnable either. I noticed that his saddles were hard to find and were selling on the endurance list for about what a new one cost so I figured I could sell it for not much of a loss if need be. He does make them custom and puts you name on the saddle. I was afraid to use my Port Lewis impression pad for a long time after I got it, but when I did I was very pleased with the results. There is an all leather version of the saddle I have (I have the cheaper sheepskin) selling on ebay for about what I paid for mine. It was the narrow twist like mine, which I think flexes even more because there is a little less tree. -- Anna Southern Ohio
